Editorialist: Some people argue that ramps and other accommodations for people using wheelchairs are unnecessary in certain business areas because those areas are not frequented by wheelchair users. What happens, however, is that once ramps and other accommodations are installed in these business areas, people who use wheelchairs come there to shop and work.

Summary

The Editorialist states that some people argue that accessible features for businesses are unnecessary because wheelchair users do not frequent them. However, the editorialist points out that once such accommodations are installed, people with wheelchairs show up to shop and work.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

Some businesses could attract more customers by installing accessible features.

Whether some people decide to go to certain businesses is influenced by whether accommodations are present.

A
Owners of business areas not frequented by wheelchair users generally are reluctant to make modifications.

The stimulus does not say anything about whether business owners feel “reluctant” or not. The stimulus is focused on the effect of modifications, not the owners’ feelings towards them.

B
Businesses that install proper accommodations for wheelchair users have greater profits than those that do not.

This is far too strong to support. The stimulus does not mention increased profits, and the editorial is only focused on the number of wheelchair users frequenting the areas.

C
Many businesses fail to make a profit because they do not accommodate wheelchair users.

The Editorialist does not make any link to profits and a lack of accommodations. The stimulus is focused on wheelchair users frequenting the area.

D
Most businesses are not modified to accommodate wheelchair users.

This is far too strong to support. The stimulus does not say that “most” businesses do not have accommodations. The Editorialist is focused on the effect of the accommodations.

E
Some business areas are not frequented by wheelchair users because the areas lack proper accommodations.

This is directly mirrored in the argument. Wheelchair users do not go to places without accommodations. However, once accommodations are installed, wheelchair users begin to visit those areas.
