Rhett: Otto gives me a ride to work every morning and expects me to help pay for fuel. ███ █ █████████ ████ ██ ████ ██████ ██ █ ████ █████████ ████████ ███ ██████ ██ ██████ ██ █████ █████ ██ ███ ██ ██ █████ ██ ██ █████ ███████

Speaker 1 Summary

Rhett concludes that he shouldn’t have to help pay for the fuel requires for Otto to give Rhett a ride to work. This is because Otto doesn’t have to use any extra fuel from providing Rhett a ride to work.

Speaker 2 Summary

Barbara’s implicit conclusion is that Rhett should have to help pay for the fuel used by Otto. Barbara compares Rhett’s argument to the flawed argument that one can use another’s unused warm air for free if one can divert it without causing expense to the owner of the warm air.

Objective

We’re looking for a point of disagreement. Rhett thinks he shouldn’t have to help pay for fuel. Barbara thinks he should.

Show answer

The dialogue provides the most ███████ ███ ███ █████ ████ █████ ███ ███████ ████████ ████ ███████

Otto requires Rhett ██ ████ ███ ███ ████ ███ ███ ████ ██ ████

Not a point of disagreement. Barbara doesn’t comment on what Otto requires of Rhett.

Rhett should have ██ ████ ███ ██████ ████ ████████

This is a point of disagreement. Rhett thinks he shouldn’t have to pay, because Otto doesn’t use any more fuel from picking up Rhett. Barbara’s implicit conclusion is that Rhett should have to help pay.

giving Rhett a ████ ██ ████ █████████ ████████ ████ ████████

Barbara doesn’t express an opinion about this. She responds to Rhett’s argument by comparing it to an analogous, flawed argument. But she doesn’t comment on the truth of Otto’s premises.

Rhett is entitled ██ ███ ████ ███ ████ █████ ███████████ ██████ █████ ████

Rhett doesn’t express an opinion about this. He doesn’t say anything suggesting a view about the analogous argument brought up by Barbara.

Rhett could divert ██ ███ █████ ███ ████ ███ ████ █████ ███████████ ██████ █████ ████ ███████ ██████████ ███ ████████

Rhett doesn’t express an opinion about this. He doesn’t say anything suggesting a view about the analogous argument brought up by Barbara.
