Editorialist: Drivers with a large number of demerit points who additionally have been convicted of a serious driving-related offense should either
be sentenced to jail or be forced to receive driver reeducation, since to do otherwise would be to allow a crime to go unpunished. Only if such drivers are likely to be made more responsible drivers should driver re-education be recommended for them. Unfortunately, it is always almost impossible to make drivers with a large number of demerit points more responsible drivers.
If the editorialist’s statements are true, they provide the most support for which one of the following?
(A) Drivers with a large number of demerit points who have been convicted of a serious driving-related offense should be sent to jail.
(B) Driver re-education offers the best chance of making drivers with a large number of demerit points responsible drivers.
(C) Driver re-education is not a harsh enough punishment for anyone convicted of a serious driving-related offense who has also accumulated a large number of demerit points.
(D) Driver re-education should not be recommended for those who have committed no serious driving-related offenses.
(E) Drivers with a large number of demerit points but no conviction for a serious driving-related offense should receive driver re-education rather than jail.
