We need to find the logical flaw.
A. The facts put forward by Galen do not support the claim that Agone Industries is not concerned with ensuring the safety of its workers.
Despite Arie mentioning that Agone industries have agreed proactively to adhere to latest government regulations. Galen refuses it outright. Does Galen use any facts to justify it ? No. He assumes things to his convenience to make a stand on loose grounds. Hence, Wrong.
B. Galen assumes without any logical basis that worker safety is the most important factor to be considered in deciding whether to accept a factory job.
Workers safety to be a priority in factory jobs or any job is paramount. Is assuming workers safety a logical flaw ? No, these are reasons which can be taken as grounds for dismissing a job at Agone industries. Hence, wrong.
C. In making the choice to not accept the factory job, Galen does not consider any issue besides worker safety.
The crux is around workers safety, and Galen assuming it is as top priority is not wrong. This is an irrelevant option. Hence, Wrong.
D. Galen attacks Agone Industries on moral grounds rather than on its commitment to worker safety.
Agong industries ignoring the security of the workers can be for many reasons, even though not justifiable. Galen questions the credibility of the industry rather than moral standards. Hence, Wrong.
E. Galen employs circular logic, employing an unsubstantiated assertion to dismiss the validity of information that weakens his argument.The validity of the information weakening Galen is Aries statement on - Agone industries willing to adhere to the regulations put forth by the Government. To negate this point, Galen again shifts gears saying the regulations must have been weak , that’s why Agone industries have accepted it. Hence, Correct answer.
Option E
