Attorney for Ziegler: My client continued to do consulting work between the time of his arrest for attempted murder and the start of this trial. But I contend that Ziegler was insane at the time that he fired the shot. This is the only reasonable conclusion to draw from the fact that the accusers have submitted no evidence that he was sane at the time he pulled the trigger, only that he was sane some time after he did so.
Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the reasoning of Ziegler’s attorney?
(A) It presumes that being a well-educated professional is relevant to being guilty or innocent.
(B) It concludes on the basis of evidence against Ziegler’s being sane that there is a lack of evidence for Ziegler’s being sane.
(C) It fails to consider that Ziegler might have been insane when he worked as a consultant.
(D) It presumes that whether one is sane is relevant to whether one is morally responsible for one’s actions.
(E) It fails to consider the possibility that Ziegler’s being sane after the shooting is an indication that he was sane at the time of the shooting.

Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the reasoning of Ziegler’s attorney?
The flaw in the reasoning is that attorney is saying that there is no evidence that Z was sane when he shot but only the evidence that he was sane after he had shot. On this basis, attorney claims Z was insane because there is no evidence of Z's being sane when he shot
Here it is important to note that "Lack of evidence in favour of one person doesn't equate to evidence against that person"
(A) It presumes that being a well-educated professional is relevant to being guilty or innocent. Incorrect
(B) It concludes on the basis of evidence against Ziegler’s being sane that there is a lack of evidence for Ziegler’s being sane. The only evidence present in this case is that Z was sane b/w time of arrest and start of trial. So, this is an evidence that he was sane some time after the incident (as mentioned in the highlighted part) not an evidence against his being sane as mentioned in the answer choice
(C) It fails to consider that Ziegler might have been insane when he worked as a consultant. Incorrect. According to the highlighted part of passage there was evidence that he was sane some time after the incident
(D) It presumes that whether one is sane is relevant to whether one is morally responsible for one’s actions. Incorrect. No relation to judgement issue here
(E) It fails to consider the possibility that Ziegler’s being sane after the shooting is an indication that he was sane at the time of the shooting. Correct

Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the reasoning of Ziegler’s attorney?
(A) It presumes that being a well-educated professional is relevant to being guilty or innocent. - WRONG. Irrelevant.
(B) It concludes on the basis of evidence against Ziegler’s being sane that there is a lack of evidence for Ziegler’s being sane. - WRONG. Evidence against Ziegler’s being sane does not equates to non-submission of evidence against Ziegler’s being sane. But more importantly why that conclusion was made must have some reason(blue text). This option does nothing to that reason.
(C) It fails to consider that Ziegler might have been insane when he worked as a consultant. - WRONG. Goes against the premise so not considerable.
(D) It presumes that whether one is sane is relevant to whether one is morally responsible for one’s actions. - WRONG. Like A, this is also irrelevant.
(E) It fails to consider the possibility that Ziegler’s being sane after the shooting is an indication that he was sane at the time of the shooting. - CORRECT. The possibility is possible which raises questions against attorney's argument.
One of the toughest i have faced that felt easier as it boils down to only two choices i.e. B and E.
I chose B since the possibility mentioned in E wasn't making much sense. However, now i see that B is wrong as discussed above.
Answer E.
