QUESTION TYPE: Weaken
CONCLUSION: Existing national cultures are threatened by modern culture.
REASONING: Modern culture is creating new subcultures at an increasing rate.
ANALYSIS: The stimulus doesn’t explain how new subcultures threaten existing national cultures. That’s a big weakness.
___________
- This strengthens the stimulus. It argues that old national identities are threatened. The emergence of new national identities supports this.
- CORRECT. This weakens the stimulus. Existing national cultures could safely accommodate many new subcultures.
- If anything, this strengthens the conclusion, which argues that the preservation of existing national cultures will be more difficult.
- That may be, but the stimulus is making a prediction about national culture. It is not claiming the change would be good or bad.
- As in D, this is irrelevant. The stimulus is making a claim without judgment.
