Summarize Argument

The author concludes that a blend of classical Roman and postmodern architectural elements would create an architectural style style that is both beautiful and dramatic. As support, the author says that Classical Roman architecture is beautiful and postmodern architecture is dramatic.

Identify and Describe Flaw

The author erroneously assumes that combining elements of two different styles (Classical Roman and Postmodern) will yield a third style that maintains the qualities of the original styles.

An analogous argument can demonstrate why this is a flaw:

Red velvet cupcakes are rich. Grilled salmon is delicious. Therefore, a dish that combines elements of red velvet cupcakes and grilled salmon will be delicious and rich.
