Match each logical argument with the specific piece of additional evidence that would most strongly support its conclusion by addressing its underlying logical vulnerability.

  • Office workers using the new 'AeroType' ergonomic keyboard reported significantly less wrist fatigue over a one-month period than workers using standard keyboards. Thus, the AeroType keyboard effectively reduces typing strain.The workers using the 'AeroType' keyboard and those using standard keyboards typed for the exact same number of hours and took breaks at the same intervals.
  • In a recent poll conducted entirely within the downtown financial district, 75% of respondents supported the proposed city-wide transit tax. Therefore, the tax is likely to have broad support among all registered city voters.The socioeconomic and political demographics of the downtown financial district accurately reflect the broader demographic makeup of the entire city.
  • The experimental 'Sun-Glow' tomato variety yielded 40% more fruit than traditional varieties during controlled greenhouse tests. Consequently, local farmers adopting this variety will see massive increases in their actual outdoor harvests.The temperature fluctuations, soil compositions, and moisture levels in the greenhouse were calibrated to exactly match the typical outdoor conditions of the local farming region.
  • Accounting firm Alpha saw a 20% increase in employee output after switching to a fully remote work model. Therefore, law firm Beta will also experience a significant productivity boost if it adopts a fully remote model.The daily workflows, reliance on digital documentation, and independent task structures at law firm Beta are almost identical to those at accounting firm Alpha.

Cevap

Argument 1 matches with the evidence regarding work hours and breaks. Argument 2 matches with the demographic evidence. Argument 3 matches with the greenhouse calibration evidence. Argument 4 matches with the workflow comparison evidence.
Each correct pairing matches an argument with the specific premise that resolves its unique logical vulnerability. Argument 1 requires ruling out alternative causes for reduced fatigue. Argument 2 requires proving the survey sample is representative. Argument 3 requires demonstrating that experimental conditions apply to the real world. Argument 4 requires establishing that the two compared firms are relevantly similar.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Argument 1 to identify the logical gap.
The argument assumes a causal relationship between the keyboard and reduced fatigue, ignoring potential differences between the two groups of workers.
Finding an alternate cause that is eliminated by the evidence is the standard way to strengthen a causal claim.
2
Analyze Argument 2 to identify the logical gap.
The argument relies on a survey of a specific neighborhood to make a claim about an entire city.
Strengthening a survey-based argument requires demonstrating that the sample is adequately representative of the whole.
3
Analyze Argument 3 to identify the logical gap.
The argument assumes that success in a controlled greenhouse environment will seamlessly translate to outdoor farming.
Strengthening this requires evidence showing the two environments are functionally identical regarding the crop's needs.
4
Analyze Argument 4 to identify the logical gap.
The argument assumes that because a strategy worked for an accounting firm, it will work for a law firm.
Strengthening an argument by analogy requires proving that the two subjects share critical similarities relevant to the conclusion.
