Question

In a small town in bear country, some citizens want the town council to require bear-proof trash cans. A citizen makes a speech in favor of the proposal. Which statement represents valid reasoning for the argument?

Question 5 options:

If we can spend money on schools and the fire department, we can also spend it on bear-proofing.


If we want to show that we keep up with the latest methods, we need to require bear-proof trash cans.


Last year, a tourist in town was mauled by a bear on trash day.

Answer 1

3rd one.

Step-by-step explanation:

The third one offers a valid reason for getting bear proof trash cans. Someone getting hurt is a good reason to respond to a need. This is the answer.

The first one is utter nonsense. There is no need to do something just because someone else is doing it.

The second one has the same problem. If the bears don't cause a problem, you don't need to get something just because it's out there.
