Complete Question Explanation
Method of Reasoning-SN. The correct answer choice is (C)
The argument is that since the only ways Juanita can get to the zoo are either the number 12 bus or the subway, and the number 12 bus is currently shut down, Juanita must have used the subway because she was seen at the zoo.
The argument consists of ruling out options.
Answer choice (A) The argument never asserts that all truths must be known, and this choice is incorrect, and much too broad.
Answer choice (B) If the argument sought to establish that certain possibilities are not exclusive, it would have concluded that we cannot know what occurred. In fact, the opposite occurred.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. The argument rules out options, or alternatives.
Answer choice (D) Since the argument never discussed rules or exceptions, this choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (E) The argument concerned what had happened on one specific day, and did not make any attempt to show what Juanita would always do.
