It is in fact illegal to make use of prison labor from foreign countries that have poor human rights records. However, if our company does not do so, others will.
Which of the following is most like the argument above in its logical structure?
A) Negotiating with striking workers does, in fact, go against the company’s policies. However, the company must negotiate in some cases, if it wants to prevent major losses.
B) Hunting deer in this forest is indeed illegal. However, if the defendant had not hunted these deer someone else certainly would have done so.
C) It is true that military officers are forbidden to endorse political candidates. But if the Colonel's interview is read closely, it will be clearly seen that no actual endorsement was made by her in this case.
D) In Argentina, refusing to vote is indeed illegal. However, the country has a long tradition of objecting to the law.
E) It is true that the law forbids landlords to increase a tenant's rent without three months’ notice. But there have been many landlords who have done so, regardless.

Core structure:
Now check choices.
A) Says company policy may be broken to avoid losses.
Different justification. Not “someone else would do it.”
B) Hunting deer is illegal. Defense: if defendant had not hunted them, someone else would have.
Exact same structure.
C) Says no endorsement actually occurred.
Denies wrongdoing instead of justifying it.
D) Says people traditionally object to the law.
Appeal to tradition, different logic.
E) Says many landlords violate the law.
Just because others do it, not because someone else would do it anyway.
Answer: B
- Action is illegal/wrong.
- Defense: “If I don’t do it, someone else will.”

Original argument structure:
Yes, action X is illegal/wrong.
But:
"If we don't do it, someone else will." Therefore implied justification:
Doing X is acceptable anyway.
A) Negotiating with striking workers does, in fact, go against the company’s policies. However, the company must negotiate in some cases, if it wants to prevent major losses.
>Says policy is violated, but negotiation is necessary to avoid losses. This is a necessity argument, not a “someone else would do it” argument.
B) Hunting deer in this forest is indeed illegal. However, if the defendant had not hunted these deer someone else certainly would have done so.
>Yes, hunting deer is illegal. But if the defendant had not done it,
Someone else would have.
Same flawed justification structure.
C) It is true that military officers are forbidden to endorse political candidates. But if the Colonel's interview is read closely, it will be clearly seen that no actual endorsement was made by her in this case.
>Argues no violation actually occurred. Different structure.
D) In Argentina, refusing to vote is indeed illegal. However, the country has a long tradition of objecting to the law.
> Says law exists, but people traditionally object to it. No “someone else would do it” logic.
E) It is true that the law forbids landlords to increase a tenant's rent without three months’ notice. But there have been many landlords who have done so, regardless.
> Says many landlords violate the law. This choice doesn't suggest that if landlords hadn't raised the rent, someone else would have stepped in and raised it for them.
