PrepTest 137 - Section 3 - Question 21

Show summary

Safety consultant: Judged by the number of injuries per licensed vehicle, minivans are the safest vehicles on the road. ████████ ██ █████████ ████████ █████ ██████ ████████ ████ ██ ███████ ███████ ██ ███████ █████ █████████ ████ █████ ████████ ██ ███████ ████ ███ █████ ███ ██████ ████████ ████ ████ █ ████ ██████ ██████ ██ ████████ ███ ████ ████ ███ ██████████ █████ ████ █████ █████████ ███ ██████ ████ ████ ███ ██████ █████████ ██ ████████ ████████

Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The author hypothesizes that the good safety record of minivans is probably due to their being driven primarily by low-risk drivers. This is based on the fact that in crash tests, minivans showed no greater ability to protect occupants than other vehicles of similar size do.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that there’s no other explanation for the better safety record of minivans besides their being driven primarily by low-risk drivers. For example, the author overlooks that other cars that drive near minivans might drive more safely because of the minivan’s presence.
