PrepTest 37, Section 2, Question 25
In a car accident, air bags greatly reduce the risk of serious injury. However, statistics show that cars without air bags are less likely to be involved in accidents than are cars with air bags. Thus, cars with air bags are no safer than cars without air bags.

The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
assumes, without providing justification, that any car with air bags will probably become involved in an accident
denies the possibility that cars without air bags have other safety features that reduce the risk of serious injury at least as much as do air bags
overlooks the possibility that some accidents involve both cars with air bags and cars without air bags
assumes, without providing justification, that the likelihood of an accident's occurring should weigh at least as heavily as the seriousness of any resulting injury in estimates of relative safety
takes for granted that all accidents would cause air bags to be deployed
