Street crime can be averted through regulations mandating the lighting of streetlights during daytime. As
daytime visibility is worse in nations farther from the equator, so obviously such regulations would be
more successful in averting crime there. Actually, the only nations that have adopted such regulations are
farther from the equator than the continental United States.
Which of the following conclusions could be most properly drawn from the
information given above?
A. Bystanders in the continental United States who were near lit streetlights during the day
would be just as likely to become victims of a crime as would bystanders who were not
near lit streetlights.
B. Inadequate daytime visibility is the single most important factor in street crime in
numerous nations that are located farther from the equator than is the continental United
States.
C. In nations that have daytime streetlight regulations, the percentage of street crime that
happens in the daytime is greater than in the continental United States.
D. Nations that have daytime streetlight regulations probably have fewer incidents of street
crime annually than do occur within the continental United States.
E. Daytime streetlight regulations would probably do less to avert street crime in the
continental United States than they do in the nations that have the regulations.
Actually, the only nations that have adopted such regulations are
farther from the equator than the continental United States. ---> what does this part mean I couldn't understand this portion of the argument
this wants to convey that on earth united states is near to the equator and all those nations who have adopted this regulation...they are more far from equator than is united states.
less visibility => in farther place from euator.
successful.
hence we can conclude E.
