Q2 - All Labrador retrievers bark

[dan]

2. (B)
Question Type: Application
This argument is flawed in that it assumes that a mixture of elements (dogs) with two extreme characteristics (lots of barking and very little barking) will produce an element with moderate characteristics (moderate barking). Of course, this isn’t necessarily the case for any given mixture. The argument in answer choice (B) contains the same flawed logic even if the elements discussed (chemicals) are different.

(A) Jane is moderate in her studying, but she is not the result of a mixture.
(C) fails to make an argument about moderation.
(D) fails to make an argument about moderation.
(E) fails to make an argument about moderation.
