Question

Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the argument below?

Manufacturers are now required to make all cigarette lighters child-resistant by equipping them with safety levers. But this change is unlikely to result in a significant reduction in the number of fires caused by children playing with lighters, because children given the opportunity can figure out how to work the safety levers and ___.

• A. the addition of the safety levers has made lighters more expensive than they were before the requirement was instituted
• B. adults are more likely to leave child-resistant lighters than non-child-resistant lighters in places that are accessible to children
• C. many of the fires started by young children are quickly detected and extinguished by their parents
• D. unlike child-resistant lighters, lighters that are not child-resistant can be operated by children as young as two years old

Answer 1

The correct option is B adults are more likely to leave child-resistant lighters than non-child-resistant lighters in places that are accessible to children

Only B is related to the argument and provide a logical conclusion

Parents leave the new lighter in places that are fewer safe than the previous lighter version because they are assured that children do not touch them, but instead children do.
