QUESTION TYPE: Strengthen
CONCLUSION: Claude thinks France should hold referenda on foreign policy. Lorraine disagrees.
REASONING: Claude believes that elections do not produce a mandate for foreign policy issues, and that referenda would increase public accountability.
Lorraine asserts that the public is uninformed about foreign policy.
ANALYSIS: To strengthen Lorraine’s argument, we’ll need to find an additional reason why referenda are a bad idea.
___________
- This weakens her argument. She’s arguing they won’t be informed.
- CORRECT. This doesn’t really strengthen or weaken her argument. There will be fewer referenda, but Lorraine will still believe there should not be any.
- Referenda would hurt France’s relations with her allies. This strengthens Lorraine’s argument that they are a bad idea.
- This strengthens Claude’s idea. Lorraine was arguing the public would be uninformed about treaties.
- This strengthens Claude’s idea that elections do not provide a mandate for future foreign policy decisions.
