Question

Each bank in the town of La Rinconada has only a single set of locking doors at its entrance. In the town of Inverness, on the other hand, the entrances to nearly all banks are equipped with two sets of locking doors, operated by a mechanism that allows only one set of doors to be open at a time. It is clear, then, that banks in Inverness experience more robbery attempts than do those in La Rinconada, and have thus adopted the extra doors as a security measure.Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument above?(A) Last year the number of bank robberies in La Rinconada was almost one-half greater than the corresponding figure for the previous year.(B) Inverness is known for its harsh winters, while the climate of La Rinconada is quite temperate year-round.(C) The mechanism of the double doors used by banks in Inverness allows bank security personnel to lock the doors remotely.(D) Bank robbery attempts are typically unsuccessful, and, even when the robbers do manage to escape with stolen money, the sum is usually quite small.(E) Inverness has almost twice as many police officers per capita as does La Rinconada.

Answer 1

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

The town of Inverness is well known for harsh winters, whereas the climate of La Rinconada is quite temperate during the same time, if the above stated is  true, then it weakens the argument in the comprehension.

Let's assume that during warm weather , we leave door open, but at times when the weather is cold, we will close the door. This option does administer information to indicate that the double doors may have been installed for protection against climate instead of installing them for prevention against robbery.
