CR -Gmatonthego -Inference Question Q4
Some social workers are circulating a petition calling for the provision of a reasonable state pension for rehabilitated drug addicts, to support them and reduce their likelihood of returning to drug abuse. Most members of the general public are rejecting this petition outright as they believe that this petition would be rewarding substance abuse. The social workers have criticized this view, saying that ________
- rehabilitation of addicts is not getting the attention it deserves from the government.
- sometimes, emotion is more important than justice.
- abuse prevention must be viewed as an issue that is as important as rehabilitation.
- there are other ways of facilitating this pension scheme other than through taxes collected.
- the law should be concerned with what happens after rehabilitation
QA is C. I have selected A. Can someone please explain.
Hi Binitdhume,
The view that is being criticized is
“this petition would be rewarding substance abuse”
Answer option A would be a good choice had the view been
“This petition and hence the pension scheme should not be implemented”
Since the view you need to criticize is the former, option C is a better choice. C refutes the view by pointing out that the pension is not rewarding substance abuse but trying to prevent substance abuse.
Hope this helps!
