@chloebarnett144 IDK....based on your logic, A should answer why the proposal shouldn't pass or why voters shouldnt determine the vote....but B doesn't explain the WHY either. B just says proposal shouldnt be decided by voters, it doesnt say WHY.

@hannahhuynh that makes so much sense. However, to play devils advocate here. The premise is saying any council member should abstain or vote against, thereby implying that they dont want the propsal to be passed. "A" is saying that if all members abstain, then voters will pass in favor, which is exactly what premise doesn't want......I'm confused why abstaining and voting against doesn't imply that you dont want voters to vote because they will vote in favor....

This whole premise and answer choices, including the correct answer choice, are really weak....Not a fan of this question or explanation

Is there a way to get a summary of all 5 formal arguments?
