98. Therapist: “Despite the popularity of TV shows depicting drug interventions, providing therapy for a serious problem such as drug addiction is not appropriate television material. These TV shows are done in a way to maximize entertainment, which is almost always incompatible with providing high quality, appropriate drug treatment and counseling. For this reason, licensed therapists should be prevented from televising their treatment sessions.”

Which of the following must be assumed in order for the therapist’s conclusion to be properly drawn?
  1. Therapists should be stopped from providing therapy in a manner that makes it unlikely to provide high quality treatment.
  2. It is never appropriate for medicine and entertainment to collide.
  3. The private aspect of therapy is what prevents televised therapy sessions from being as successful as their non-televised counterparts.
  4. While drug addiction is too serious a subject to be televised, therapy sessions for other, less serious psychological problems would be appropriate television material.
  5. Maximizing entertainment is not appropriate for television shows with serious subject matters.

99. Environmental activist: “It will eventually prove counterproductive to rely on pesticides for crop growth. Even if there are short-term gains in crop yields, insects will eventually become resistant to all known forms of pesticides. We will either have to spend billions researching new forms of pesticides or rely on different kinds of crops in the future. It is much better and will ultimately prove cheaper to grow organic products, even if they seem more expensive now.”

Which of the following most accurately describes the role played by the part of the passage stating that insects will eventually become resistant to all known forms of pesticides?
  1. It is the argument’s main conclusion.
  2. It is a conclusion made by the argument, but not its only conclusion.
  3. It is a phenomenon for which the argument provides an explanation.
  4. It is used as direct support for the conclusions of the passage.
  5. It is presented as a counterclaim to the main argument and then later rebutted.

100. Amy: “It is a proven fact that wind can provide a more reliable source of energy than fossil fuels. Dr. Malcolm Wolf recently produced a paper explaining that there is essentially unlimited potential for wind power.”

Zack: “That claim cannot be correct. Dr. Wolf was found to have fabricated another study about solar power, and so his opinions cannot be trusted.”

Zack’s argument attacks Amy’s assertion by
  1. Showing that Amy’s reasoning is flawed.
  2. Showing that there is source of power superior to wind power, so Amy's assertions can’t be correct.
  3. Showing that the evidence cited by Amy is based on unreliable sources.
  4. Undercutting the reliability of the author behind the evidence Amy cites.
  5. Pointing out that Amy does not have the background or expertise necessary to give a qualified opinion on the subject.
