In response to Tom’s claim that high school students should be required to work part-time jobs, Mary points out that there are few part-time jobs available for students and a requirement to work will not create jobs.

Mary counters the position held by Tom. She does this by weakening a crucial assumption in Tom’s argument: that part-time jobs exist for students required to work them. By pointing out that there are already too few part-time jobs and that jobs will not be created by simply requiring students to work, Mary implies that high school students should not be required to work part-time jobs.

Mary does not mention what would happen if students were required to work part-time jobs. Rather, she emphasizes the impossibility of instituting the requirement in the first place.

Mary does not state that the trend of high school students graduating without vocational skills is unavoidable. Rather, she argues that Tom’s solution to the trend is not a viable solution.

Mary does not provide information that contradicts the fact that employers are complaining or that vocational skills are best acquired on the job.

The assumption Tom’s argument depends on is the assumption that part-time jobs are available for students if those students were required to work. Mary undercuts this assumption by pointing out that too few of these jobs exist to fulfill this requirement.

Mary does not propose an alternative solution to the problem. Her argument is limited to addressing Tom’s proposed solution.
