And my question and I’ll answer yours
Your question is incomplete because it not does not provide the options to choose from, which are the following:
It misuses a statistic to overstate the amount of crime committed in New York City.
It assumes that because one person commits a crime, others will do so as well.
It uses an incorrect appeal to the New York Police Department as an authority.
It assumes that the police policy was the cause of the drop in crime.
Answer:
It assumes that the police policy was the cause of the drop in crime.
Explanation:
In the passage, the speaker does not mention any other causes which may have lead to the reduction of crime in New York City, such as a rise in employment, education and better quality of life. As a consequence, the speaker takes for granted that the only reason for the decrease of the crime rate is the stop-and-frisk policy, which he or she believes should be continued.
I think that the question is looking for a synonym of one word in the sentence.
and the answer would be:
1.the decorations were reminiscent (=reminding) of autumn leaves.
2.No buildings still stood at the epicenter=
- point on earth directly above an earthquake.
3.The puppy
wrested (pulled) the squeaky toy from under the couch.
4.Luis angled the car obliquely into the parking spot and
passed his drivers license test
Here the best answer is "indirectly" since it's one of the meanings of the word "obliquely.
