SECTION 4 · lr

The author concludes that the city selected a contractor with 60% of its technicians who are unqualified.

What makes the author believe this?

Because 60% of the contractor’s technicians are not certified by the Heating Technicians Association.

The author assumes that if a technician is not certified by the association, then they are not qualified. In other words, the author assumes that in order to be qualified, they must be certified.

Not necessary, because a technician’s pay is irrelevant to the reasoning.

Not necessary, because the argument concerns the specific contractor hired by the city. What is true about other contractors doesn’t matter.

Necessary, because if it were not true — if technicians who lack certification CAN still be qualified — then the fact 60% are not certified would not prove that 60% are not qualified.

Not necessary, because the argument doesn’t concern who did the initial installation. The argument concerns the contractor hired to do the upgrade.

Not necessary, because speculation about why the contractor was hired has nothing to do with the reasoning of the argument. What matters is whether lack of certification implies lack of qualification.
