PrepTest 80, Section 2, Question 7
Peraski: Although driving gas-guzzling automobiles produces a greater level of pollution than driving smaller cars, those of us who drive smaller cars when we could use a bicycle cannot speak out against the use of gas guzzlers. We would be revealing our hypocrisy.

Jackson: I acknowledge I could do better in this area. But, it would be worse not to speak out against greater sources of pollution just because I am being hypocritical.

The dialogue provides the most support for the claim that Peraski and Jackson disagree over whether
driving a gas-guzzling automobile produces a greater level of pollution than driving a smaller car
speaking out against the use of gas guzzlers despite driving in situations in which one could use a bicycle reveals hypocrisy
driving even a small car when one could use a bicycle contributes to the level of pollution
one should speak out against polluting even if doing so reveals one's own hypocrisy
there is no moral difference between driving a gas guzzler and driving a smaller car
