1. Question : <21{1[1(01)01]}> 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 t... hat club led her to take an interest in politics. The argument above is flawed because: Student Answer: it doesn’t say which political issues Jessica is interested in. it states that the only purpose of the political science club is to spark an interest in politics. it misuses the word “significantly.” it’s possible that an interest in politics caused Jessica to join the political science club.

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: Student Answer: more students in the morning class may have passed the test than failed the test. some students may have been absent from both classes. some of the students who passed the afternoon test may have received information about the test from morning students. more students may have taken the test in the afternoon than in the morning.

Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet. The argument above is flawed because it confuses Student Answer: Jerry with other members of the team the members of one team with the members of another team people who are six feet three inches tall for people who are exactly six feet tall an average for the individuals that make up that average.
