Studies have long shown that people who drive red cars receive more speeding tickets from the police than do those who drive cars of other colors. Researchers have thus concluded that the color of a car influences its driver’s behavior.
The argument depends upon which one of the following assumptions?
A: Drivers of black cars receive the second-most speeding tickets.
B: Red cars do not attract more attention from the police than do cars of other colors.
C: Police officers do not drive red cars.
D: Red cars do not receive any more parking tickets, on average, than do cars of other colors.
E: Drivers of red cars who are ticketed for speeding are able to appeal their tickets more often than drivers of other color cars.
OA: B
Conclusion: the color of a car influences its driver’s behavior.
