E. The homicide rate in State X has dropped by ten percent this year.[fraction][/fraction]
Argument
- decrease in number of death sentence was due to deterrent effect of the controversial public broadcast of serial killer execution.
Weaking would be something else reducing the number of death sentence.
My answer is C. If majority of homicides cases was removed from the court, then it is highly likely that number of death sentence dropped.
