IMAT 2011 WORKED SOLUTIONS Q.15

[MANISH MULCHANDANI]

(15) Some disabled people find it difficult to gain access to some of our older public buildings because the entrances have steps. The problem is most often solved by installing ramps. All public buildings must be accessible to everyone therefore they must all install ramps.

Which one of the following identifies the flaw in this argument?

A Disabled people must have access to all buildings not just public ones so all buildings

should have ramps.

B Installing ramps in all public buildings would be extremely expensive.

C It is unreasonable to suggest that disabled people should be able to access all public

buildings.

D Some older public buildings without ramps may be accessible to disabled people.

E Inaccessible public buildings should be replaced by buildings accessible to all.

ANSWER= D
