Arguments:

1. It is highly probable that every student of Law at University level would have done a course on principles of ethics and Rama being a student of law, in all probability, would have done a course on principles of ethics.

2. At University level, every faculty aims at a super specialty for which emphasis is laid upon structuring the curricula in such a way that every faculty is treated as a closed system so that no inter-disciplinary study is acceptable. Principles of ethics being essentially an integral part of philosophy most probably are out of any course on law.


Information that is published is part of the public record.  But information that a reporter collects, and sources that he contacts, must be protected in order for our free press to function free of fear. The above argument is most severely weakened by which one of the following statements? 


Rahul: One would have to be blind to the reality of moral obligation to deny that people who believe a course of action to be morally obligatory for them have both the right and the duty to pursue that action, and that no one else has any right to stop them from doing so.   
Richa: But imagine an artist who feels morally obliged to do whatever she can to prevent works of art from being destroyed confronting a morally committed antipornography demonstrator engaged in destroying artworks he deems pornographic. According to your principle, the artist has, simultaneously, both the right and duty to stop the destruction and no right whatsoever to stop it. 
Which of the following, if substituted for the scenario invoked by Richa, would preserve the force of her argument?


Unless they are used as strictly temporary measures, rent control ordinances (municipal regulations placing limits on rent increase) have several negative effects for renters. One of these is that the controls will bring about a shortage of rental units. This disadvantage for renters occurs over the long run, but the advantage-smaller rent increases - occurs immediately. In many municipalities, especially in all those where tenants of rent-control units have a secure hold on political power and can get rent-control ordinances enacted or repealed, it is invariably the desire for short-term gain that guides those tenants in the exercise of that power.   
If the statements above are true, which one of the following can be properly inferred from them?
