Question

71. Rape Convicts should be sentenced to life in prison, not subjected to death penalty. A life sentence is enough to deter any convicted rapist from committing a rape again. Moreover, even the worst offenders may subsequently undergo a miraculous rehabilitation—a possibility that is eliminated by death penalty. XYZ, a notorious convicted rapist, is a case in point. He learnt painting while in prison and ultimately became an acknowledged painter.

Each of the following can be inferred from the argument except:

• A. a) All convicted rapists will be deterred from committing rape again if given life sentences.
• B. b) Any convicted rapist could undergo a miraculous rehabilitation.
• C. c) The threat of life imprisonment is adequate to deter potential rapists.
• D. d) Becoming an acknowledged painter is evidence of one person’s rehabilitation.

Answer 1

c) The threat of life imprisonment is adequate to deter potential rapists.

Ans:71) (c)
