A publisher produces magazines, all of which have a number of pages which is a multiple of 32. Thus, a magazine can have 32, 64, 96....... pages. The front cover is always counted as page 1. The centre spread of the magazine could have pages numbered A 15 and 16. B 30 and 31. C 50 and 51. D 63 and 64. E 96 and 97.

Every year in Britain there are nearly 25 000 car fires, yet it is estimated that only five per cent of motorists travel with a fire extinguisher in their car. If more motorists could be encouraged to carry fire extinguishers then the number of car fires could be considerably reduced. Which of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the argument above? A It ignores the fact that millions of motorists never experience a car fire. B It assumes that carrying a fire extinguisher will enable fires to be put out. C It implies that the occurrence of car fires is related to the lack of an extinguisher. D It overlooks the possibility that fires might not be put out with an extinguisher. E It ignores the fact that there are different extinguishers for different kinds of fires.
