QUESTION TYPE: Sufficient Assumption
CONCLUSION: The professor concludes no music majors live off campus.
REASONING: Because…all music majors are in the choir?
ANALYSIS: This doesn’t make any sense, but it’s our job to make it work.
If no off-campus student was in the choir the conclusion would follow, because all music students are in the choir.
___________
- CORRECT. Yup. If off-campus students aren’t in the choir, they aren’t music majors.
- We already know that music members join the choir. This adds nothing.
- It’s very likely that some students who live on campus aren’t music majors. That’s true of almost any college. …This doesn’t help.
- That’s a little weird, but it still doesn’t necessarily mean that all off-campus students are music majors. Maybe the only residence is a choir hall.
- Ok. But how does this help us conclude that no off-campus students are music majors?
