PHI 103 COLLINS CRITICAL QUIZ
Question 1
pts
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 2
pts
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
provides no evidence
Correct!
misinterprets a key term
relies on contradictory facts
, is not a noted painting expert
Question 3
pts
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 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”
Correct!
it’s possible that an interest in politics caused Jessica to join the political science club
Question 4
pts
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
Correct!
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
