A proposed ordinance would impose a 10 p.m. curfew on all city residents under the age of 18 in response to increasing thefts by adolescents. However, a city councilman argued that because the majority of adolescents who steal do so during the day, the curfew would have a negligible impact on the total value of property stolen.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument drawn by the councilman above?
A) Most adolescents who steal do not have the knowledge required to disable alarm systems.
B) Because adolescent offenders commit only a fraction of the city's thefts, the ordinance would have only a minimal effect on the amount of property stolen.
C) The cost to stores of hiring more security guards would be greater than the cost incurred to replace items stolen by adolescents.
D) In the city where the ordinance was proposed, the average time required by the police department to respond to a reported theft was lower than the national average.
E) The value of property stolen by adolescents between midnight and 4 a.m. represents the vast majority of the value of all property stolen by adolescents.

A. Out of scope
B. Fraction of theft does not affect the value of property. People can steal more in singe chance than they do in many chances.
It seems a strengthener.
C and D are Out of scope
E. Correct

E) The value of property stolen by adolescents between midnight and 4 a.m. represents the vast majority of the value of all property stolen by adolescents.- Thus, proposed ordinance will work and reduce the theft. hence, argument weakened.
