PrepTest 130 - Section 4 - Question 22

Show summary

Support A book tour will be successful if it is well publicized and the author is an established writer. █████ ██ ██ ███████████ ███████ ███ ███ ████ ████ ███ ███████████ ██ ███ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ███████████

Method of Reasoning

The argument starts by establishing a conditional relationship with a conjunction in the sufficient condition. It then concludes that part of the sufficient condition must be present (well publicized) because the necessary condition (successful tour) and the other part of the sufficient condition (established writer) are met.

Identify and Describe Flaw

This argument features the cookie-cutter flaw of confusing necessary and sufficient conditions. Just because the necessary condition is met (successful tour) does not mean that either element of the sufficient condition must be met. We’re given one part of the sufficient condition (well publicized), but this tells us nothing about the remaining condition.
