PrepTest 127 - Section 3 - Question 12

Show summary

Advice columnist: Several scientific studies have shown that, Support when participating in competitive sports, those people who have recently been experiencing major stress in their lives are several times more likely to suffer serious injuries than are other participants in competitive sports. █████ ███████ ███████ ██████ ██ ███████ ██ ██████ ████████ ██████ ██ ████ ██ █ ██████ ███ ██████ ████ ███████

Summary

The columnist concludes that no sports should be used to cope with stress. As support, she says that recently stressed people are much more likely than other people to injure themselves in competitive sports, and risking injury is unwise.

Notable Assumptions

The author establishes why competitive sports shouldn’t be used to cope with stress— because stressed people are much more likely to injure themselves in competitive sports— but she then jumps to the conclusion that recently stressed people should avoid all sports.

She assumes that since recently stressed people should avoid competitive sports, they should also avoid all sports. We need a principle or rule that helps justify her reasoning by satisfying this assumption.
