1. Question : <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.
suggests that Catherine’s local movie theater hardly
ever shows romantic comedies.

Question Question : <21{1[1(13)13]}> A recent study of 100 employees from
2. 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.

Question Question : <21{1[1(01)01]}> Since Jessica’s participation in local
3. 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
, 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.

Question Question : <11{1[1(19)19]}> All sages provide both wisdom and
4. 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.
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.
