Premise 1: After a natural disaster, special building inspectors are hired to check buildings with columns for stability;
Premise 2: those columns that are deemed intact and thus do not require reinforcement with iron core are often ordered to undergo extensive testing for strength and stability anyway, for the special building inspectors are concerned about the possibility of having misjudged the ability of such columns to withstand pressure without collapsing.
Premise 3: When the results of some of the extensive tests were reviewed, however, no columns that had initially been deemed intact after a disaster were shown to have failed the strength and stability tests that were ordered anyway.
Premise 4: Many buildings that are damaged in natural disasters do not rely on columns for support. Conclusion: Thus, the extensive testing that the special building inspectors order for columns that they have already deemed intact after a disaster is a waste of money.
(A)Building inspectors who do not specialize in assessing the damage after a natural disaster are less likely than the special building inspectors hired to check buildings after such a disaster to judge the stability of a column correctly-
not concerned about Building inspectors who do not specialize in assessing the damage. Also judging the stability of column not an issue(B)Many buildings that are damaged in natural disasters do not rely on columns for support.--
correct(premise 3)(C)The results of strength and stability tests ordered by many different special building inspectors for columns deemed intact after many different natural disasters were reviewed--
we all kno tht it is reviewed. so wat ??(D)The stability of columns deemed intact after reinforcement by iron core is always affirmed by strength and stability tests--
specificaly mentiond abt those columns that are deemed intact and thus do not require reinforcement with iron core. (E)Building inspectors routinely order extensive strength and stability testing for columns even when these columns have never been affected by a natural disaster--
absurd, OOS
