GEN499: GE GEN499: Week 4 Critical Thinking Quiz Ashford.100% CORRECTAll 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 satisfied two requirements of being a sage doesn’t necessarily mean that she
satisfies all the requirements of being a sage.
Reporter: A new campaign finance reform bill being considered by Congress would limit the amount
of campaign contributions that political candidates can receive. However, a survey of candidates
running for mayor, governor, and senate seats shows that not one of them favors the bill. Clearly,
there is no desire among politicians to limit campaign contributions.
Which one of the following points out the flaw in the reporter’s argument above?
The views of candidates currently running for office do not necessarily represent the views of all
politicians.
Since Jessica’s participation in local politics increased significantly after she joined her school’s political
science club, it is clear that her involvement in that club led her to take an interest in politics.
The argument above is flawed because:
it’s possible that an interest in politics caused Jessica to join the political science club.
The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry
is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet.
The argument above is flawed because it confuses
an average for the individuals that make up that average.
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:
relies on a sample that is too small to represent the entire corporate workforce.
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:
does not suggest that Catherine goes to see every romantic comedy that plays at
her local movie theater.
Aron: The two double A batteries in my CD player are dead, so the CD player doesn’t work. My
television remote control, which also uses two double A batteries, works fine. So if I move the two
batteries from my television remote control to my CD player, the CD player will definitely work.
Aron’s argument is most strengthened if which one of the following is true?
The amount of energy required to power the CD player is not greater than the amount of energy
needed to power the television remote control.
