Self-study
Support According to the proposed Factory Safety Act, a company may operate an automobile factory only if that factory is registered as a class B factory. ██ ██████████ ███████ █ ███████ ███ ████████ ███ ██████ ████████████ ████ ███ ████ ██████████ ████ ██ ███████ ███ ██ █████ █ ███████ ████████ ████████████ █████ █████ ███ ███████ ██████ ████ █ ███████ ████ ████████████ ███████████ █████ ███ ██ ████ ██ ████████ ███ ██████ ████████████
Summarize Argument
The author concludes that an automobile-manufacturing factory could not postpone safety inspections under a proposed Act. This is because the Act would require all automobile-manufacturing factories to register as a class B factories. Furthermore, under the Act, a class B factory may not postpone inspections.
Describe Method of Reasoning
The author draws a conclusion by combining two premises given by the Act. If a type of factory must be registered in a general class, then a given rule of that general class—in this case, punctual safety inspections—must apply to that type of factory.

The author points out how two provisions—the classification of automobile manufacturers as class B factories, and the rule of timely inspections for class B factories—jointly entail the unacceptability of automobile manufacturers postponing inspections.

The author doesn’t show that two provisions of the Act conflict, but rather draws a conclusion based on how two compatible provisions interact.

The author doesn’t address any analogous situations, only specifically dealing with the timing of safety inspections for automobile manufacturers under the proposed Act.
