(B) The bottle deposit collected in Allen’s state only applies to carbonated beverages, not uncarbonated sports drinks, juices, and ice tea.
(C) A two-liter bottle is counted as one container and is subject to only one deposit while a six-pack of cans requires six times the deposit.
(D) People living near a state border may drive across the border to buy their beverages in a state that doesn’t collect a deposit.
(E) The deposit is charged on all carbonated beverages, including soft drinks from small, local companies, organic sodas, diet sodas, and even carbonated water.

John would also like to argue that the deposit laws are unfair because they don’t apply equally to all industries. Which of the following, if true, best supports that contention?
John's Contention: Laws are unfair because the laws don't apply equally to all industries. The statement that supports the contention should highlight the aspect that the law is not being applied equally to all industries.
(A) Citizens of some states pay bottle deposits while citizens of other states do not. - wrong
this option talks about the difference in laws for citizens and there is no mention of different industries.
(B) The bottle deposit collected in Allen’s state only applies to carbonated beverages, not uncarbonated sports drinks, juices, and ice tea. - correct
This clearly highlights the fact that the law is not applied equally across the industries. The deposit applies only to carbonated beverages and others are not subjected to deposits. This option clearly supports John's contention.
(C) A two-liter bottle is counted as one container and is subject to only one deposit while a six-pack of cans requires six times the deposit. - wrong
This option talks about the different rules applicable to a 2 litre bottle and a six-pack of cans. This differential treatment can be same across different industries.
(D) People living near a state border may drive across the border to buy their beverages in a state that doesn’t collect a deposit. - wrong
We can only infer that two states have different laws. We cannot infer the unfairness across different industries in the state.
(E) The deposit is charged on all carbonated beverages, including soft drinks from small, local companies, organic sodas, diet sodas, and even carbonated water. - wrong
This option mentions that the law is equally applied to all the players in an industry. This statement doesn't support John's contention.
