L: Public-housing advocates claim that the many homeless people in this city are proof that there is insufficient housing available to them and therefore that more low-income apartments are needed. But that conclusion is absurd. Many apartments in my own building remain unrented and my professional colleagues report similar vacancies where they live. Since apartments clearly are available, homelessness is not a housing problem. Homelesness can, therefore, only be caused by people's inability or unwillingness to work to pay the rent.

M: On the contrary, all recent studies show that a significant percentage of this city's homeless people hold regular jobs. These are people who lack neither will nor ability.

M responds to L's argument by

A. chanlleging the accuracy of the personal experiences he offers in support of his position.

B. Showing that a presupposition of his argument is false.

presuppostion means "jia she?"
