Forced retirement for airline pilots at age 60 is a good policy that
ensures safety for passengers.
which counterclaim is most appropriate for the author to address?
o
a. the idea that forced retirement will free up jobs for younger pilots is
false; airlines are largely cutting back.
o
b. just because a pilot is 60 years old doesn't mean that he or she is
reckless or unconcerned about passengers.
o
c. the safety of passengers isn't as important as the ability of older pilots
to keep jobs and provide for their families.
o
d. age 60 is no longer as old as it used to be; healthy pilots can continue
flying safely for many years after 60.
