The state’s licensing procedures for day-care providers are inadequate. I used to leave my son with a wonderful woman who kept a group of neighborhood children, but she quit rather than put up with the licensing paperwork. And a friend of mine tells me that he cannot recommend the day-care center that he uses, even though it is licensed, because the care providers are not interested in doing anything beyond meeting the minimum requirements of health and safety.
The author of the passage argues by
(A) providing examples to support two opposing positions
(B) basing a conclusion on specific cases
(C) disputing evidence cited by those with an opposing point of view
(D) predicting personal experience from a general principle
(E) using a generalization based on observation to undermine a theoretical principle
