Zorluk: OrtaBridging Gap (Supporter) Assumptions

Match each logical stimulus argument (left) with the specific supporter assumption (right) required to bridge the logical gap between its premise and conclusion.

  • The newly excavated artifacts at the Oakhaven site contain elevated levels of isotopic strontium. Therefore, the individuals buried there were not born in the local region.Individuals who are native to the region surrounding Oakhaven do not exhibit elevated isotopic strontium in their remains.
  • The central bank has prioritized stabilizing currency valuation over stimulating job growth. Consequently, the country's manufacturing sector will continue to contract.Any economic policy that fails to prioritize job stimulation will fail to halt the contraction of a nation's manufacturing sector.
  • The Alpine Marmot population has started hibernating three weeks later than historical averages. This indicates that the region's overall snowpack volume has significantly decreased.Marmots do not delay their hibernation by three weeks unless their region's snowpack volume has experienced a significant decrease.
  • Professor Vance publicly disclosed confidential corporate misconduct out of a desire for personal fame. Therefore, her whistleblowing action lacked moral justification.An action cannot be morally justified if it is motivated by a desire for personal recognition.

Cevap

The correct pairings connect each argument's specific premise to its novel conclusion: the archaeology argument pairs with the assumption about native individuals and strontium; the economics argument pairs with the job stimulation assumption; the biology argument pairs with the marmot hibernation assumption; and the ethics argument pairs with the assumption about personal recognition.
Each correct assumption functions as a deductive bridge. By connecting the disconnected terminology in the premise to the novel terminology introduced in the conclusion, the assumption closes the logical gap and allows the argument's inference to be validly drawn.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze each stimulus to identify the premise and the conclusion.
Isolated the evidence provided and the final claim made for each argument.
Understanding the structure of the argument is necessary to spot the logical gap.
2
Identify the 'rogue' terms in each argument's conclusion.
Found new concepts in the conclusions (e.g., 'moral justification', 'not born in the local region') that did not appear in the premises.
Supporter assumptions must bridge the logical gap by connecting these rogue terms back to the premise evidence.
3
Match the rogue terms to the assumptions that logically connect them to the premises using formal conditional logic.
Successfully paired each argument with the assumption that guarantees the conclusion when added to the premise.
This validates the argument, fulfilling the definition of a necessary and sufficient supporter assumption.
