Criminals released from prison on parole have generally been put under routine supervision. A recent program has allowed criminals to leave prison early under intensive supervision; they must obey curfews and in some cases, they must be electronically monitored. The percentage of released criminals arrested while under supervision is the same for intensive supervision as for routine supervision, so intensive supervision is no more effective than routine supervision in preventing criminals from committing additional crimes.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?
a. The criminals under intensive supervision, but not those under routine supervision, were required to work or attend school during their supervision period.
b. All of the criminals who were arrested while under routine supervision had been in prison more than once before being paroled and put under supervision.
c. The proportion of arrests to crimes committed was not significantly higher for criminals under intensive supervision than those under routine supervision.
d. Of the criminals arrested while under intensive supervision, some would not have committed crimes if they had been under routine supervision.
e. The number of criminals put under routine supervision was not significantly greater than the number of criminals put under intensive supervision.

David paid $975,000 for two beachfront lots in coastal south carolina, with the intention of building residential homes on each. two years later, the south carolina legislature passed the beachfront management act, barring any further development of the coast, including david's lots. when david files a complaint to seek compensation for his property, south carolina refuses, pointing to a passage in david's own complaint that states "the beachfront management act [was] properly and validly designed to south carolina's " is south carolina required to compensate david under the takings clause?
