5.     The city is vigorously enforcing the ordinance against allowing individuals to sleep in the bus depot. The mayor argues that such vigorous enforcement is fair, evenhanded, and administered in the best traditions of equal treatment for all. “No one can sleep in the bus depot,” the mayor has said, “whether you’re homeless or the chief executive of a major corporation.” This brings to mind a remark once made by a political commentator. “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.” It’s time for the mayor to come to his senses.

The passage as a whole is structured to lead which one of the following conclusions?

(A) People should not be treated equally with respect to enforcing the ordinance vigorously.

(B) Everyone should be treated equally with respect to enforcing the ordinance vigorously.

(C) The vigorous enforcement of the ordinance does not qualify as equal treatment for all.

(D) The law holds poor people to stricter standards than it does rich people.（C）

(E) In a truly equal legal system, no one would sleep in bus depots.

5.      The city is vigorously enforcing the ordinance against allowing individuals to sleep in the bus depot. The mayor argues that such vigorous enforcement is fair, evenhanded, and administered in the best traditions of equal treatment for all. “No one can sleep in the bus depot,” the mayor has said, “whether you’re homeless or the chief executive of a major corporation.” This brings to mind a remark once made by a political commentator. “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread It’s time for the mayor to come to his senses.

There is no argument in the stimulus, but all information. The last sentence points to us an direction of what all those information is directed to.” It’s time for the mayor to come to his senses” the “senses” here refer to “best traditions of equal treatment for all”. So the stimulus here agree with the city mayor. Mayor’s point of view is   “The mayor argues that such vigorous enforcement is fair, evenhanded, and administered in the best traditions of equal treatment for all.”, which is the conclusion of this argument.

 

The passage as a whole is structured to lead which one of the following conclusions?
            (A) People should not be treated equally with respect to enforcing the ordinance vigorously.

Opposite of the stimulus and opposite of the conclusion.

 

(B) Everyone should be treated equally with respect to enforcing the ordinance vigorously.

This is the right answer, see the analysis above.

 

(C) The vigorous enforcement of the ordinance does not qualify as equal treatment for all.

Out of scope. In the stimulus are talking about weather everyone will get the same treatment.

 

(D) The law holds poor people to stricter standards than it does rich people.（C）
        

Out of scope.

 

(E) In a truly equal legal system, no one would sleep in bus depots.

Totally out of scope.
