Summarize Argument

In response to Sam’s claim that Starlight automobiles are free from manufacturing defects, Tiya points out that such defects become apparent only after several years.

Describe Method of Reasoning

Tiya’s claim weakens Sam’s conclusion. She does this by stating an additional consideration Sam does not take into account when making his argument. If manufacturing defects are not apparent until several years later, then it is less likely that Starlight automobiles are free from these defects.
