But the town council is mistaken。s residents spend $ 50 per capita on gambling each year does not suffice to prove that residents will spend much money on lottery. () ★★★6. The situation in our capital city could not illustrate that people in other areas of the state are also interested in gambling.

Walnut Grove39。s health programs treat more people than Impecunia39。s public health program treats far more people(3,4) than our state39。s last three books have been best sellers(1) and the movie based on his first book was highly profitable(2). Second, the popular characters and story line in Squirrel Power (4)will save us time in developing our video game, thereby reducing our costs(3,5). ★★★1. The arguer fails to convince us that Squirrel Power will also be a best seller solely because its writer Peter Wood achieved tremendous success in his last three books. (P→F) ★★★★★2. The fact that the movie based on Wood’s first book was profitable does not ensure our game will also be profitable. () ★★★★3. The arguer fails to demonstrate that the revenue generated by the game will greater than the cost. (:disadv) ★★★★4. The arguer unfairly assumes that the characters and story line in “Squirrel Power” will surely be popular. () ★★5. The arguer fails to consider other costs in producing the game.

A national survey(1) conducted last month indicated that many consumers(3) were dissatisfied with the quality of fresh vegetables available in supermarkets. And locally, the gardening magazine Great Gardens has sold out at the Village News stand(6) three months in a row(4,5). Thus, we at Green Thumb Gardening Center can increase our profits by greatly expanding the variety of vegetable seeds we stock for gardeners(2) this ing spring(7). ★★1,40, 117, 2191. The argument depends on a dubious assumption that the national levels of satisfaction with storebought groceries could reflects the level of a certain area. () ★★★★2. The argument falsely assumes that consumers who are dissatisfied with storebought groceries are likely to grow their own vegetables instead. () ★★★★★3. The arguer fails to provide any information about what fraction of consumers buy their vegetables from supermarkets. () ★★4. The arguer fails to convince us that the gardening magazine Great Gardens is indeed popular among residents. () ★★5. We do not know the content and circulation of the magazine, thus the fact that the magazine has sold out three months in a row does not necessarily indicate that people in this area are interested in planting vegetables themselves. () ★★★6. The situation at one certain news stand does not prove that people in this area are interested in gardening. (quantity of the sample) ★★★7. The arguer fails to consider the possible cost of the proposed action.

Since many of the food products currently marketed by Old Dairy Industries are high in fat and cholesterol(7), the pany39。s workers would use the additional hour of free time to sleep or rest is open to doubt. () ★★★4. The president fails to consider that the perworker accident rate might reveal that Alta is actually safer than Panoply, depending on the total number of workers at each pany. () ★★★5. The president fails to consider possible differences between Alta and Panoply which render them inparable. () ★★★★6. Merely shortening the work shifts might not suffice to reduce the number of onthejob accidents.

()) ★★★2. We do not know the actual amount of recycled garbage in previous years, thus the doubling may be insignificant. () ★★★ 3. An increase in the amount of recycled materials does not necessarily indicate a decrease in the total amount of trash deposited in the city39。s landfill, which is used for garbage disposal, would be pletely filled within five years.(8) During the past two years, however, town residents have been recycling twice as much aluminum and paper (1)as they did in previous years(2,3). Next month the amount of material recycled should further increase, since charges for garbage pickup will double(5). Furthermore, over ninety percent of the respondents to a recent survey(6) said that they would do more recycling in the future. Because of our residents39。s claim that grade inflation explains why Omega graduates are less successful than Alpha graduates in getting jobs is unjustified. (NCR) ★★★★4. The dean ignores other possible ways by which Omega can increase its jobplacement record. (necessity of the solution) ★★★5. Merely terminating the evaluation system might not suffice to enable Omega’s graduates to secure better jobs. (sufficiency of the soluti
