Question 1
pts
<11{1[2(06)06]}> 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?
Correct!
The views of candidates currently running for office do not necessarily
represent the views of all politicians.
The reporter wrongly assumes that no politician has ever supported a bill
intended to limit campaign contributions.
, The evidence provided by the reporter suggests that most politicians are in
favor of the new bill.
The reporter doesn’t indicate the amount that the new bill would limit
campaign contributions.
Question 2
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 3
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.
