C
A. Roget cheated during his law school examination. No evidence , outside scope
B. Generally speaking, very few lawyers are inarticulateThis is a false assumption as inarticulate is different from bad language
C. The quality of English a lawyer uses is indicative of his competence. This statement clerly gives us the correct assumption as negating it actually wakens the stmt.
The quality of English a lawyer uses is not indicative of his competence. :: Hence we cant say Rget is not a good lwyer.
D. Generally speaking, a majority of lawyers are competent in English Generalizing gives a scope of having an exception thsu can not weaken completely.
E. Roget purposely uses bad English to disguise what he knows is a bad argument. No impact
