Question

(1) Our town should double its fines for speeding. (2) Studies show that higher fines result in less

speeding, so increasing the fees should improve safety. (3) There is no reason not to do this. (4) If pec
can afford to pay a $50 fine, then surely they should be able to pay a $100 fine as well.
Use the above passage to answer the following question.
Which sentence is not sound reasoning to support the claim "Our town should double its fines for
speeding".

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence is not sound reasoning because it doesn't directly tell us examples of how much better the town would be with and without the doubled fine. Furthermore, the sentence should include opinions from others who have had trouble from speeding and also believe that the speeding fine should be doubled. Lastly the author is comparing a 50 dollar fine to 100 dollars. That could greatly affect someone who either doesn't know they are speeding or in a rush to an emergency. Not everyone is just carrying 100 dollars around with them.
