Our company wants to ensure that all employees are honest. One of the questions we ask each new job applicant is if he or she has ever stolen from an employer. We are confident that this will help weed out dishonest people.
Which of the following, if true, exposes the major flaw in the argument?
A. It is illegal to ask people if they have ever committed a crime.

D. Just because someone has stolen in the past doesn’t mean he or she will steal again.
E. People lie when they really want a job.

Which of the following, if true, exposes the major flaw in the argument?

Irrelevant..Legality no discussed in the stimulus
B. People who have stolen from a former employer are unlikely to admit this to a prospective new employer.
If people unlikely to admit, the argument's conclusion will be not valid..CORRECT option..
C. Just because someone has never stolen before doesn’t mean he or she might not steal in the future.
Only one aspect..positive response to question by the company covered in this prompt..so narrow in scope..
D. Just because someone has stolen in the past doesn’t mean he or she will steal again.
Only one aspect..negative response to question by the company covered in this prompt..so narrow in scope..
E. People lie when they really want a job.
additional nformation..does not impact reasoning of the argument..
(B) is the CORRECT answer..
