Carol Morris wants to own a majority of the shares of the city’s largest newspaper, The Daily. The only obstacle to Morris’s amassing a majority of these shares is that Azedcorp, which currently owns a majority, has steadfastly refused to sell. Industry analysts nevertheless predict that Morris will soon be the majority owner of The Daily.
Summarize Argument
Industry analysts predict that Morris will soon be the majority owner of The Daily. No evidence is provided for this claim.
Notable Assumptions
Industry analysts assume that Azedcorp will soon sell its shares to Morris.
A
Azedcorp does not own shares of any newspaper other than The Daily.
We don’t care what other shares Azedcorp owns. We need to know why industry analysts are so sure Azedcorp will sell its shares in The Daily to Morris.
B
Morris has recently offered Azedcorp much more for its shares of The Daily than Azedcorp paid for them.
If anything, this suggests Azedcorp won’t sell its shares. Morris has offered what seems to be a pretty good price, and Azedcorp has refused.
C
No one other than Morris has expressed any interest in purchasing a majority of The Daily’s shares.
We don’t care who else is involved. We need to strengthen the claim that Azedcorp will soon change their “steadfast” position of not selling their shares.
D
Morris already owns more shares of The Daily than anyone except Azedcorp.
Even if Morris didn’t have a single share, she’d become the majority owner of The Daily if Azedcorp sold her its shares. We need to strengthen the claim that Azedcorp will in fact do so.
E
Azedcorp is financially so weak that bankruptcy will probably soon force the sale of its newspaper holdings.
Azedcorp will soon have to sell its shares in The Daily. Thus, Morris will be able to buy them and become The Daily’s majority owner as industry analysists predict.
