The state of California recently adopted legislation that requires bars and restaurants to ban smoking
inside their establishments unless the restaurants have a separate room with separate heating,
ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems that can be designated as a smoking room. Sports bars
, that do not already have rooms with separate HVAC systems need to construct them in order to
accommodate patrons who wish to smoke, or the lack of a smoking room will cause these bars to go out
of business.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument above?
A. Smoking patrons care enough about being able to smoke in a sports bar that they would leave bars
without smoking rooms in favor of those with smoking rooms in large enough numbers to drive the bars
without smoking rooms out of business.
B. Employees of sports bars without smoking rooms are known to smoke outside during breaks, and
patrons are welcome to do the same without breaking the law.
C. Most patrons of the average sports bar do not smoke anyway and will shy away from bars that do
have smoking rooms.
D. The new smoking legislation should provide equal protection from any hazards associated with
smoking to all patrons of restaurants and bars.
E. To construct a new smoking room, bars will need all the proper construction licenses, a certified
contractor, and a plan from an architect. Construction will take at least three months for the average
bar. Correct Answer: A.

In several states, legislation has been proposed that would make smoking cigarettes illegal. Critics of
these proposed laws note that, in the United States, people should be able to engage in any activity as
long as that activity does no harm to others. Based on this, the critics conclude that smoking cigarettes
should remain legal.
Each of the following, if true, weakens the argument above, EXCEPT:
A. Exposure to smoke wafting from lit cigarettes or from the exhalation of a smoker--otherwise known
as secondhand smoke--has been shown to increase the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers.
B. Smokers do not enjoy the same life expectancy as non-smokers and therefore often leave dependents
without a source of support when the smokers die prematurely.
C. Health insurance companies are forced to charge all customers more money to cover the costs of
treating ailing smokers.
D. Some people who smoke cigarettes are known to also drive while under the influence of alcohol--an
activity known to be very dangerous to others.
E. Homeowner's insurance premiums for all customers are more expensive because some smokers are
known to light houses on fire by not fully extinguishing cigarettes. Correct Answer: D.
B. This is a weaken question. Conclusion is after the therefore. Correct Answer: Gas-fired and oil-fired
power plants emit some pollutants into the air. However, coal-fired plants, as presently engineered,
emit far more noxious air pollutants, causing acid rain to fall hundreds of miles away from the plants
themselves. Therefore, in order to reduce air pollution, we should close down the coal-fired plants and
replace them with gas- and oil-fired plants.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion above?
A. In addition to the air emissions from coal-fired power plants, mining coal can pollute water, while gas
and oil-fired plants pollute only air.
