McBride: The proposed new fuel-efficiency standards, if implemented, will discourage the manufacture of full-size cars. This prospect is troubling because when a subcompact and a full-size car collide, the people in the subcompact are more likely to be seriously injured than if theirs had also been a full-size car. The new fuel-efficiency standards should therefore be opposed.
Leggett: But whenever any two cars collide, it is more likely that someone will be seriously injured if one of the cars is a full-size car than if neither car is full-size. So the new fuel-efficiency standards should be supported precisely because they discourage the manufacture of full-size cars.
Which one of the following argumentative strategies does Leggett use in attempting to refute McBride’s position?
(A) demonstrating that McBride’s claims are contradictory
(B) challenging the unstated assumption that all cars are either full-size or subcompact
(C) shifting the perspective from which the issue of automobile safety is considered
(D) raising doubts about the accuracy of a generalization made by McBride
(E) demonstrating that it is impossible to follow the course of action advocated by McBride

Both McBride and Leggett agree on below
1.fuel-efficiency standards discourage the manufacture of full-size cars.
2. when a subcompact and a full-size car collide, some injury happens.
McBride wants the standards to be opposed to increase the number of full-size cars -->so that people full-size car stay safer.
Leggett wants the standards to be supported to reduce the number of full-size cars. --> So that people in subcompact stay safer.
Thus,Both want safety but they see differently for the users as a whole.
Now the choices.
The argumentative strategies that Leggett used in attempting to refute McBride’s position -
(A) demonstrating that McBride’s claims are contradictory
No,Leggett rather agreed on the claims but he shifted the impact.
(B) challenging the unstated assumption that all cars are either full-size or subcompact
As the standards is about regulating full-size cars, impact on possible other cars are not in considerations.
(C) shifting the perspective from which the issue of automobile safety is considered
Correct. Both talks on safety but perceptions differ.
(D) raising doubts about the accuracy of a generalization made by McBride.
Leggett did not challenge the accuracy.
(E) demonstrating that it is impossible to follow the course of action advocated by McBride
Never believed by Leggett
IMO C

M: Fuel standards manufacturing of cars is more dangerous when manufacturing
L: If cars collide then you there is bound for something bad to happen to the workers.
L States that M should be more worried about the production line than the product itself.
Which one of the following argumentative strategies does Leggett use in attempting to refute McBride’s position?
(A) demonstrating that McBride’s claims are contradictory
Nothing is being contradicted here.
(B) challenging the unstated assumption that all cars are either full-size or subcompact
No. Its moreso related to the safety of workers.
(C) shifting the perspective from which the issue of automobile safety is considered
Bingo.
(D) raising doubts about the accuracy of a generalization made by McBride
There are no doubts to the accuracy of M. In fact, L uses these accuracies to his advantage
(E) demonstrating that it is impossible to follow the course of action advocated by McBride
Nothing is stated about impossibility.
