City council member: The Senior Guild has asked for a temporary exception to the ordinance prohibiting automobiles in municipal parks. Their case does appear to deserve the exception. However, if we grant this exception, we will find ourselves granting many other exceptions to this ordinance, some of which will be undeserved. Before long, we will be granting exceptions to all manner of other city ordinances. If we are to prevent anarchy in our city, we must deny the Senior Guild’s request.
The city council member’s argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
(A) distorts an argument and then attacks this distorted argument
(B) dismisses a claim because of its source rather than because of its content
(C) presumes, without sufficient warrant, that one event will lead to a particular causal sequence of events
(D) contains premises that contradict one another
(E) fails to make a needed distinction between deserved exceptions and undeserved ones

According to the city council member, lending one exception to the automobile entrance in municipal park, will automatically lead to lenienting other rules as well.
The argument has a loophole as it is not supported by any evidence. There is no such evidence that making exception to one rule will result in leniency to other rules.
In order to weaken the argument we have to show that city council member statement doesn't hold any truth.
And only option C justifies the loophole.
Answer is C

Quote:
Exception to A deserver
But if exception to A happens (X) --> Exception to Deserve + exception to underserve (Y)
Avoid Anarchy (Z) --> deny A
Possibilities of Vulnerability:
1. What if X doesn’t lead to Y
2. What if deny A doesn’t lead to Z
3. What if before long and present are not same
(A) distorts an argument and then attacks this distorted argument
NO, no distortion of any premise or fact is mentioned
(B) dismisses a claim because of its source rather than because of its content
No. author didn’t dismiss just because it is of Senior Guild
(D) contains premises that contradict one another
No such contradictory present
(C) presumes, without sufficient warrant, that one event will lead to a particular causal sequence of events
(E) fails to make a needed distinction between deserved exceptions and undeserved ones
C says,
X-->Y-->Z
SO it is not necessary that x may lead to Y and y lead to z
Hence this option seems suitable .
E says:
Distinguish deserve vs underserve fails
But argument says
X --> deserve + underserve
So in the argument, city council member does worry about underserve , he is not interested to give exception to other deserve ones also.
(many other exceptions to this ordinance, some of which will be undeserved)
Hence E can not be correct answer.
Final answer: C
