Zorluk: OrtaAnalyzing Boldface Statement Roles and Argument Structure

Read the following argument carefully:

In an effort to reduce drug development costs, several biotechnology firms have proposed replacing traditional human clinical trials with advanced artificial intelligence predictive modeling. Many health policy analysts argue that this substitution will inevitably compromise patient safety because AI algorithms cannot account for rare biological interactions. However, this concern is largely misplaced. AI models are designed to synthesize vast genomic datasets that human researchers cannot process, identifying dangerous interactions far earlier in the development pipeline. Consequently, adopting predictive modeling will ultimately enhance, rather than diminish, drug safety protocols.

True or False statement: In the argument above, the first boldfaced statement provides evidence supporting the main position defended by the author, while the second boldfaced statement expresses that main position.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is False. The first boldfaced portion presents an opposing viewpoint that the author refutes, while the second boldfaced portion provides supporting premise evidence for the author's conclusion rather than stating the conclusion itself.
The evaluation statement is false because it completely reverses and misidentifies the rhetorical roles of both boldfaced portions. The first boldfaced statement introduces an objection raised by health policy analysts that the author rejects ('concern is largely misplaced'). The second boldfaced statement supplies premise evidence demonstrating how AI early-detection operates, which supports the author's main conclusion articulated in the final sentence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the author's main conclusion and overall stance in the argument.
The main conclusion is the final sentence: 'adopting predictive modeling will ultimately enhance, rather than diminish, drug safety protocols.' The author supports the adoption of AI predictive modeling.
Locating the main conclusion is critical for evaluating how other claims in the passage relate to the author's position.
2
Determine the structural role of the first boldfaced statement.
The first boldfaced statement ('Many health policy analysts argue...') expresses an opposing position asserting that AI substitution compromises patient safety. The author disputes this in the next sentence ('However, this concern is largely misplaced').
This statement represents a counterargument that the author argues against, not evidence supporting the author's stance.
3
Determine the structural role of the second boldfaced statement.
The second boldfaced statement ('AI models are designed to synthesize vast genomic datasets...') provides a reason explaining why AI improves safety early on.
This statement serves as a supporting premise that leads to the final conclusion, not as the main conclusion itself.
4
Evaluate the truth value of the target statement.
Because both parts of the assertion incorrectly describe the roles of the boldfaced statements, the assertion is False.
A statement claiming that the first boldface supports the author and the second boldface is the main conclusion misidentifies both structural components.
