Question 23 Question 24 Question 25 Question 26 Question 27

The author concludes that the driver of the second vehicle isn’t liable for the accident. This is because one of the two drivers involved certainly broke the rules of the road. And further, the first vehicle didn’t signal before changing lanes, which is sufficient to make that driver liable for the accident.

The author assumes that if one driver is liable, then the other is not liable; in other words, that the two drivers can't both be liable. This includes assuming that the second vehicle wasn’t being driven in excess of the speed limit, which is also sufficient for liability.

If the second vehicle was being driven too fast, that would be sufficient for liability, undermining the conclusion. If the second vehicle wasn’t being driven too fast, then the conclusion stands.

As far as we know, intent doesn’t matter here, so the first driver's knowledge isn't relevant to the argument.

The conclusion is about whether the second driver can possibly be liable for the accident. As far as we know, other vehicles are irrelevant to that question.

The argument doesn't rely on the first driver's testimony as a witness, so the first driver's reliability doesn't make a difference.

We don’t care about what would’ve happened if the turn signal had been on. The argument is just concerned with what happened; what could have happened doesn't make a difference.
