PrepTest 105 - Section 4 - Question 23

Show summary

Donna claims to have found the museum's current exhibition of bronzes from Benin less interesting than many of the other exhibitions recently put on by the museum. █████████ ██ ███ ███ ████████ ████████ ████████ ███ █████ ██████████ ██ ████ ███████████ ████ ███ █████ ██████████ ████ ███ ██████ ███ ███ ██ ██ ██████ ██████████ ███████ █████ ████ ██ ██████

Method of Reasoning

The author concludes that Donna’s subjective claim (that she enjoyed the Benin exhibition more than the others) is false. His reasoning is that it conflicts with the subjective claims made by others (critics said the Benin exhibition was the most interesting one).

Identify and Describe Flaw

The flaw in the author’s reasoning is that there’s no contradiction between two people making different subjective claims. It’s entirely possible that Donna didn’t find the Benin exhibit interesting, but the critics did. Whether something is interesting is a personal judgment, not a provable fact.
