Advertiser: Support Most TV shows depend on funding from advertisers and would be canceled without such funding. ████████ ███████████ ████ ███ ███ ██ ████ █████ ███████████ █████ ██████ █ ██ ████ ██████ ████ ██████ ████████ ███ ████ ███ ███ ██████████ ████████ ██ █ ███████ ██ ██ ██████ █████████ ████ ██ ███ ███ ████████ ██████████ ██████ █████ ████████ ██████ █████ █████ ████ ████ ██ █████████ █████ ██████ ███ █████ ████ █ ██ ████ ██ █████ ██████████ █████ ██ ███ ███ ████████ ██████████ ██████ ████ █████

Summary

The author concludes that anyone who feels a TV show is worth preserving should buy the products advertised during that show.

Why?

Because if people generally fail to buy the products advertised during a show, the show will be canceled.

Find or Complete the Application

Notice that the conclusion brings up the concept of “anyone who feels a TV is worth preserving,” which isn’t brought up in the premises. That tells us the author is assuming something about this group of people.

In addition, notice that the premises tell us that a show will be canceled unless “people generally” buy the products advertised during the show. But why does this support a conclusion that “anyone” who wants to preserve a show should buy the products during the show? Why couldn’t some people who want to preserve a show just sit back and let OTHER people buy the advertised products?

The underlying principle should connect the fact that a general failure to buy the advertised products would lead to cancellation to the recommendation that every single person who wants to preserve a show should buy the products advertised on the show.
