Question
7

The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism because the argument

fails to consider that crosswalks marked by both striping and flashing lights are marked in this way precisely because they are the most dangerous ones

takes for granted that safety features that fail to reduce the number of injuries are a waste of taxpayer money

presumes that there are less expensive features that will reduce the number of pedestrian injuries just as effectively as striping and flashing lights

takes for granted that crosswalks with both striping and flashing lights have no other safety features

fails to consider that, in accidents involving pedestrians and cars, the injuries to pedestrians are nearly always more serious than the injuries to occupants of cars
