GEN 499 WK4 QUIZ
Question 1
pts
<11{1[4(23)23]}> People have claimed that Jamie’s paintings have given them the blues. Clearly
this cannot be entirely correct, since many of Jamie’s paintings contain no blue at all.
The argument above is flawed because the author:
is not a noted painting expert.
relies on contradictory facts.
Correct!
misinterprets a key term.
provides no evidence.
Question 2
pts
<21{1[1(13)13]}> A recent study of 100 employees from six departments of a major corporation
found 65% to be sleep deprived. The researchers concluded that the majority of corporate
employees are sleep deprived.
The researcher’s conclusion is suspect because it:
Correct!
relies on a sample that is too small to represent the entire corporate workforce.
fails to describe the effects the sleep deprivation has.
,is based on evidence that is statistically impossible.
assumes that corporate employees are more sleep deprived than other people.
Question 3
pts
<11{1[1(19)19]}> All sages provide both wisdom and inspiration. Since Dasha’s speech
contained wisdom and greatly inspired her audience, Dasha is a sage.
Which one of the following points out the flaw in the argument above?
Just because Dasha is a sage doesn’t mean that she is always wise and inspirational.
Just because Dasha’s speech provided wisdom and inspiration doesn’t mean that it provided
more wisdom than inspiration.
Correct!
Just because Dasha satisfied two requirements of being a sage doesn’t necessarily mean that
she satisfies all the requirements of being a sage.
Just because Dasha provided wisdom and inspiration in a speech doesn’t mean that all sages
use speeches to provide wisdom and inspiration.
Question 4
pts
<11{1[3(02)02]}> Catherine goes to her local movie theater only to see romantic
comedies. Since Catherine did not go to the movies yesterday, there is not a romantic
comedy playing at her local theater. The reasoning above is flawed because the evidence:
, Correct!
does not suggest that Catherine goes to see every romantic comedy that plays at her local
movie theater.
implies that Catherine is uninterested in most types of movies.
does not indicate whether Catherine watches only romantic comedies at home.
suggests that Catherine’s local movie theater hardly ever shows romantic comedies.
Question 5
pts
<11{1[4(17)17]}> Mrs. Orlof teaches two history classes, one in the morning and one in the
afternoon. Yesterday she gave the same test to both classes. Anyone who failed the test must
take a retest. Since a greater percentage of students who took the morning test failed the test
than students who took the afternoon test, more of Orlof’s morning history students than
afternoon history students will have to take the retest.
The conclusion above is not necessarily valid because:
Correct!
more students may have taken the test in the afternoon than in the morning.
some of the students who passed the afternoon test may have received information about the
test from morning students.
some students may have been absent from both classes.
