Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: People say we don't need ramps because no one in a wheelchair shops here, but it turns out people in wheelchairs don't shop here because there aren't any ramps.
Reasoning: The editorialist notes that while some claim accommodations are unnecessary due to a lack of wheelchair users, those users actually appear once the accommodations are built.
Analysis: This stimulus highlights a classic circular reasoning error made by the 'some people' mentioned: they mistake a lack of access for a lack of demand. It’s a bit like saying no one wants to cross a river because you don't see anyone swimming across, ignoring the fact that there isn't a bridge. The facts most strongly support the idea that the presence of wheelchair users is at least partially dependent on the availability of accommodations. Look for an inference that suggests accessibility is a prerequisite for, rather than a response to, the presence of this specific population.

Correct Answer
E
The editorialist’s observation that once accommodations are installed, wheelchair users come supports that, in at least some business areas, their absence was due to the lack of accommodations. So it’s reasonable that some areas are not frequented because they lack proper accommodations.
