GEN 499 WK4 QUIZ (version 3)

<11{1[4(23)23]}> People have claimed that Jamie’s paintings
have given them the blues. Clearly this cannot be entirely

Student Answer: provides no evidence.
misinterprets a key term.
relies on contradictory facts.
is not a noted painting expert.

<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 that 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.

<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?
Student Answer: Just because Dasha is a sage doesn’t mean that she is
always wise and inspirational.
, GEN 499 WK4 QUIZ (version 3)
Just because Dasha’s speech provided wisdom and inspiration
doesn’t mean that it provided more wisdom than inspiration.
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.

<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:
Student Answer: assumes that corporate employees are more sleep
deprived than other people.
is based on evidence that is statistically impossible.
fails to describe the effects the sleep deprivation has.
relies on a sample that is too small to represent the entire
corporate workforce.

<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:
Student Answer: 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.
