Q1] Some automobile drivers and passengers argue that people have the right to take risks as long as the people do not harm others as a result of taking risks.As a result, they conclude that it should be each person's decision whether or not to wear a seat belt.

which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion drawn above?
a. Many new cars are built with seat belts that automatically fasten when someone sits in the front seat. (irrelevant)
b. Automobile insurance rates of all automobile owners are higher because of the need to pay for the increased injuries or deathsof people not wearing seat belts. (Does harm to others, as in they have to pay higher)
c. Passengers in airplanes are required to wear seat belts during take-offs and landings (irrelevant)
d. The rate of automobile fatalities in states that do not have mandatory seat belts laws is greater than the rate of fatalities in states that do have such laws. (Inconclusive...as to whether it really harms others...)
e. Some states also have imposed a fine on people not wwearing a seatbelt. (irrelevant)

Q2] In a survey of housewives, two-thirds admitted to being liars. However, the survey may underestimate the proportion of working people who are liars, because _______
(key thos: working people...underestimate)

A. some liars taking the survey might have claimed otherwise. (possible)
B. Some trustful wives who are taking the survey might have claimed on the survey to be liars (irrelevant..as we want abt working ppl)
C. Some housewives who claimed on the survey to be telling few lies may be very untruthful. (again irrelevant)
D. some housewives who are not liars are probably at least a little untruthful at times (Again Irrelvant)
E. Some liars may have claimed to be working women though they are housewives. (possible...but this wont lead to underestimation...rather over-estimation...)

Q3] Some people have questioned judges's objectivity in cases of discrimination against women. but the record shows that 65 per cent of such cases, the judge has decides in favor of women. This record demonstrates that judges have not discriminated against women.

The above argument is flawed because it ignores the possibility that:

A. A large number of judges' cases arose out of allegations of discrimination against women.
B. many judges find it difficult to be objetive in cases of discrimination against women.
C. the judge is biased against women defendants or paintiffs in cases that do not involve discrimination. (irrelevant)
D. the judges might get biased towards women and discriminate against men. (irrelevant)
E. the majority of the cases of discrimination against women that have reached the judge's courts have been appealed from a lower court. (Clear winner...)

The correct sentence should be:

My wife runs a profitable business in this suburb.
or
My wife runs profitable businesses in this suburb.
