Answer 1

Explain the flaw or flaws in each statement

1. As Justin Timberlake stated in a recent interview, America must act now to protect its oceans from overfishing. If we do not take action right away Timberlake said many species will be lost forever.

Explanations: The statement is flawed as it shows that America is not taking any action to prevent overfishing in the oceans. Secondly, America is allowing overfishing leading to the extinction of some species. America is not taking care of sea life or taking any measures to counter overfishing. Further, it indicates that we must protect only those species which are facing extinction.

2. According to a study by General Motors,’ the quality and reliability of American made cars have never been better.

Explanation: The statement is flawed because it is stating the quality and reliability of American cars was questionable earlier. It is assumed that earlier the quality and reliability was not as good as it is now. General Motors’ is benchmarking quality and reliability only with American cars. It does not show that they are looking at achieving world-class standards. "“never been better” is a general statement better than what is not answered."

3. Diabetes affects 382 million people around the world and kills 5.1 million every year or one person every six seconds. According to the international diabetes foundation, there are an average of 10 million new cases every year. The number of cases has increased by 4.4% in just two years and now affects 5 percent of the global population. Although only 285 million people had the disease in 2009, the IDF expects the number to climb by 55% by 2035 and afflict 592 million people. Novo-Nordisk says that diabetes results in an annual one million amputations and 500,000 cases of kidney failure. The health care cost this year alone was $ 548 billion.

Ans: The argument is flawed as it deals with multiple issues, which can directly impact people with diabetes. Many deadly diseases are directly associated with diabetes.

It is assuming that diabetes is a life-threatening disease and can lead to serious health complications. It is indicating that the government is spending a huge amount on treating lifestyle disease rather than taking preventive care measures. It can also lead to life-threatening complications

4. A report by Mario Aldano titled “ending school violence” indicates that more than 17,000 high school students are victims of violence or robbery every single day.

Ans: The argument generalizes that more than 17,000 high school student is a victim of violence or robbery daily. It is also not concluding how the violence will be controlled through the report is titled “ending school violence”. The statement does not show how violence and robbery will be countered.
