The sales manager concludes that the highest priority should be given to the sales department, because the company would fail without successful sales.

The shipping manager counters the sales manager’s argument by showing that he makes an unreasonable assumption. The sales manager assumes that the sales department should be given highest priority because it’s necessary to the company’s success. But the shipping manager points out that many departments are necessary, and giving them all the top priority would be impossible and illogical.

The shipping manager never refutes the claim that the sales department is necessary to the company’s success. She just says that there are other departments that are also necessary to its success.

The shipping manager doesn't make this mistake; she uses the term “highest priority” consistently throughout her argument.

The shipping manager never claims that other departments are more important than sales; she just claims that there are other departments that are also necessary to the company’s success.

The sales manager assumes that a department’s necessity earns it the highest priority. The shipping manager points out an absurd consequence of this assumption by saying that there are many necessary departments, and it makes no sense to give everyone the highest priority.

The shipping manager doesn’t argue that the sales manager makes a generalization from an atypical case. If anything, she argues that the sales department’s necessity is not an atypical case, because there are many necessary departments.
