Newscaster: In order for the public to participate in a meaningful way in the current public policy debate, one requirement is that the issues be stated in terms the public can understand. The mayor' s speech has just stated these issues in such terms, so now the public at least might be able to participate in a meaningful way in the current public policy debate. Which one of the following most closely parallels the newscaster's argument in its reasoning?
A: In order to discover the meaning of certain seldom-used words, one must use a good dictionary. Paul has used a good dictionary, so Paul must have discovered the meaning of those words.
B: One must at least have warm clothing if one is to survive in a very cold climate. Jerome has obtained warm clothing; ttherefore, he might be able to survive in a very cold climate.
C: One cannot confuse the majority of one's students if one wants to be a good teacher. Hugo wants to be a good teacher; ttherefore, he might be able to avoid confusing the majority of his students.
D: In order to reach one's goals, one must be able to consider these goals carefully. Laura has reached her goals, so she must have been able to consider those goals carefully.
