PrepTest 132 - Section 2 - Question 17

Show summary

One should never sacrifice one's health in order to acquire money, for without health, happiness is not obtainable.

Summary

The author concludes that we should not sacrifice health to obtain money. This is based on the fact that health is necessary to obtain happiness.

Missing Connection

It’s not easy to transform the argument into Lawgic. So I wouldn’t force it. Instead, I’m focused on the conclusion bringing up the new idea of acquiring money and that we “should never” sacrifice health for money. Why shouldn’t we sacrifice health for acquiring money? The premise doesn’t say anything about acquiring money, or why we “should” or “should not” do something, so I’m expecting the correct answer, at a minimum, to tell me something about acquiring money and when we “should” or “should not” do something.


Ultimately the argument can be diagrammed, although most would find it difficult to translate the conclusion:


Premise: happiness → health

Conclusion: acquire money → NOT sacrifice health (in other words, have health)

Missing link: acquire money → happiness
