| 79. In countrieswhere automobile insurance includescompensation for whiplash injuries sustained inautomobile accidents, reports of having sufferedsuch injuries are twice as frequent as theyare in countries where whiplash is not covered. Presently, noobjective test for whiplash exists, so it is true that spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be readily identifi ed. Nevertheless, these facts do not warrant the conclusion drawn by some commentators that in the countries with the higher rates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the reported cases are spurious. Clearly, incountries where automobile insurance does not includecompensation for whiplash, people often havelittle incentive to report whiplash injuriesthat they actually have suffered. In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles? (A) The fi rst is a claim that the argument disputes; the second is a conclusion that has been based on that claim. (B) The fi rst is a claim that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument accepts; the second is that conclusion. (C) The fi rst is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion for which the argument provides further evidence; the second is the main conclusion of the argument. (D) The fi rst is a fi nding whose implications are at issue in the argument; the second is a claim presented in order to argue against deriving certain implications from that fi nding. (E) The fi rst is a fi nding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is evidence presented to establish that the fi nding is accurate. |
