Which choices BEST analyze how the line "I regard as indefensible the
fact that I did not report the accident to the police immediately,"
functions in the argument? (Choose all that apply).

A) This line in fact does make the speaker responsible for the woman's death and serves as evidence of the speaker's evil nature.
B) This line admits some wrongdoing in an effort to then deny the more serious wrongdoing of being responsible for the young woman's death.
C) This line gives irrefutable logical evidence to prove that the speaker was nowhere near the scene of the
accident on the night in question.
D) This line makes an emotional appeal for sympathy for the speaker due to his difficult interactions with the police department on that night.
E) This line shows the speaker to be realistic and earnest with a desire to tell the truth in a difficult
situation where it might be tempting to lie.
