PrepTest 136 - Section 4 - Question 14

Show summary

University president: Research institutions have an obligation to promote research in any field of theoretical investigation if that research shows some promise of yielding insights into the causes of practical problems that affect people's quality of life.

Summary

Principle:

If research in a field of theoretical investigation shows some promise of producing insights into the causes of practical problems that affect people’s quality of life → research institutions have an obligation to promote that research

Find or Complete the Application

The correct answer will involve an institution that DOES promote research, because the research shows some promise of producing insights into the causes of practical problems that affect people’s quality of life.

The correct answer will NOT involve an institution that fails to promote research. The principle does NOT assert that institutions should NOT promote research if the research doesn’t show promise of insights into the causes of practical problems. If you think it does, you’re confusing sufficient and necessary conditions. “If A → should promote research” does NOT imply “If Not A → should NOT promote research.”
