PrepTest 147 - Section 1 - Question 26

Show summary

Support Some eloquent speakers impress their audiences with the vividness and clarity of the messages conveyed. ████████ ███ ██████ ██ ██████████ ████████ ███ ███ █████████ █████████ ██ ████ ██ █████ ████████ ███████ █████ ██████████

Method of Reasoning

The author states that some eloquent speakers impress their audiences, and that all speakers who use obscenity are not eloquent. The author then concludes that all speakers who use obscenity do not impress their audiences.

Some of A (eloquent speakers) can accomplish B (impress audience). All C (users of obscenity) are not A. All C don’t accomplish B.

Identify and Describe Flaw

The author assumes that being eloquent is the only route to impressing your audience, and ignores that there might be other ways to do so. Just because being eloquent is one way to impress an audience doesn’t mean that speakers who use obscenity might not have some other way of impressing an audience.
