Match each logical argument to the specific statement that, if assumed, enables the argument's conclusion to be properly drawn.
- Any philosophical framework that fundamentally relies on purely theoretical entities violates the established principle of parsimony, rendering it methodologically suspect. Consequently, string theory inherently violates this foundational principle of parsimony. This is because its core mathematical models necessarily posit the existence of multiple extra spatial dimensions beyond the observable universe.Any extra spatial dimension required by a mathematical model is, by definition, a purely theoretical entity.
- The newly proposed municipal planning reform will undoubtedly alleviate the city's severe and persistent housing shortage. The legislation completely abolishes a series of outdated and restrictive zoning ordinances. Empirical economic evidence demonstrates conclusively that removing such archaic restrictions invariably stimulates the local construction sector to build high-density developments.Any action that successfully stimulates the construction sector is sufficient to resolve an existing scarcity of residential properties.
- A central bank's monetary policy can successfully curb runaway inflation only if it significantly diminishes aggregate consumer spending within the economy. Therefore, the central bank's recent aggressive series of interest rate hikes will successfully curb inflation, as preliminary market data indicates these rate hikes have already begun to diminish consumer spending.If an economic intervention successfully reduces the overall purchasing activity of the public, that intervention will necessarily arrest rising price levels.
- The corporate board's unilateral decision to rapidly liquidate the struggling subsidiary's assets was clearly and objectively unethical. In executing this liquidation, the board explicitly prioritized the immediate distribution of shareholder dividends over the long-term financial security and well-being of the subsidiary's dedicated workforce.It is never morally permissible for a corporate entity to value the immediate financial returns of its investors above the enduring economic stability of its employees.
Cevap
Argument 1 pairs with the definition of theoretical entities; Argument 2 pairs with the construction sector guarantee; Argument 3 pairs with the economic intervention sufficiency; Argument 4 pairs with the moral principle on corporate ethics.
Each correct pairing provides the exact missing premise required to make its corresponding argument formally valid. This involves bridging concept gaps, connecting intermediate steps to final outcomes, fixing conditional logic flaws, and supplying underlying moral principles.
