PrepTest 84, Section 3, Question 16
Automobile executive: Our critics say that the communications devices installed in our automobiles are dangerously distracting to drivers. But these critics are wrong. Drivers who want to use communications devices are going to use them regardless. Our devices are easier for drivers to use, and hence they are safer.

The reasoning in the automobile executive's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
attempts to apply a general principle to a situation to which that principle is not applicable
fails to address the substantive point of the criticism that it is responding to
treats a condition that is necessary to establish its conclusion as one that is sufficient to establish that conclusion
presumes, without providing justification, that all communications devices are the same with respect to driver distraction
is based on premises that presume the truth of the argument's conclusion
