QUESTION TYPE: Flawed Reasoning
CONCLUSION: Moore is an unreliable plumber.
REASONING: Every complaint filed against a plumber in Moore’s small town was filed against Moore.
ANALYSIS: How many other plumbers are there in Moore’s town? If he is the only plumber, this argument is worthless.
___________
- Presumably their interests are the same as customers who have filed complaints: receiving good work when they hire a plumber. This stimulus is attempting to inform as to who is a good plumber.
- CORRECT. Yes. Since he lives in a small town, Moore may be the only plumber.
- A poor plumber can certainly have a small business. If there are other plumbers with bigger businesses, it’s quite telling that all complaints were against Moore.
- Totally irrelevant. We’re concerned with plumbing complaints.
- This would be relevant if we were trying to prove Moore was competent because not many people complained.
