PrepTest 142 - Section 4 - Question 5

Show summary

Government official: Although the determination of local residents to rebuild hiking trails recently devastated by a landslide indicates that they are strongly committed to their community, Conclusion the government should not assist them in rebuilding. ███ ██████ ██ ██████ █████ ██ █ ██████ ██████████ ██ ██████ ██████████ ██ ████ ████████ ████ █████ █████ ███████ ██████ ██ ██████

Summary

The official claims that the government should not help rebuild certain hiking trails because there’s a high probability that people will be injured on them in the future.

Notable Assumptions

The official establishes that people are likely to get injured using these trails in the future, but doesn’t establish this as sufficient reason for the government to refrain from helping rebuild them.

This argument would be justified by a principle that establishes that the government shouldn’t pursue a course of action that would put people at risk of injury.
