Question 22 Question 23 Question 24 Question 25 Question 26 Question 27

The artist concludes that almost everyone in the country wants to be an artist. This is based on the observation that most people the artist knows want to be artists.

This is a cookie-cutter unrepresentative sampling flaw. The artist draws a conclusion about everyone in the country based on an observation about the people the artist knows. But an artist’s social circle is more likely to include people who want to be artists compared to the general public, so their life goals are probably not representative of the goals of the general population of the country.

The artist’s conclusion is not based on any premises that presuppose or restate the conclusion.

The artist doesn’t presume that something that is true of each person in a country is true of the country’s population as a whole.

The artist doesn’t use the popularity of any view as support for a conclusion.

The argument uses the small sample of the artist’s friends to support its conclusion about the people in the country as a whole. An artist’s friends are not likely to represent the whole country when it comes to the goal of being an artist.

This distinction isn’t necessary to the argument. It’s clear that what the artist is talking about is wanting a career as an artist in either case.
