A bus driver concludes that she should not be reprimanded for her involvement in a recent traffic accident. This is because the accident was caused by the other driver breaking the speed limit, whereas she was obeying all laws.
The authorβs only evidence for her claim is that the other driver caused the accident by speeding, whereas she was obeying the law. She has not established why this means she should avoid a reprimand, however, and is assuming these ideas are linked. We are looking for an answer choice that expresses this link as a conditional statement, which leads to a firm prediction:
If an accident is caused by another driver breaking the law, a bus driver should not receive a reprimand.
