    It's wrong because it's irrelevant. The right answer doesn't get us anywhere close to validity either, but it does provide some context which allows us to better evaluate the strength of the argument.

    Thanks.

    So it's wrong because it does not show the reasoning is valid...

    Keep in mind what our conclusion is. It's tempting to think this argument is saying "I was late because there was no parking." But that's not what the stimulus is arguing: It's saying "had there not been construction, I would have been on time." So assume everyone else was late. Does that help us determine what would have happened had there not been construction? It really doesn't tell us anything.
