easy · LSAT Logical Reasoning
To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must have a GPA of at least 3.8. Mark has a GPA of 3.9. Therefore, Mark is eligible for the scholarship.
The argument is most vulnerable to the criticism that it
- ignores the possibility that Mark's GPA could fall before the scholarship is awarded
- shifts the sense in which the term 'eligible' is used from premise to conclusion
- rejects a conclusion merely because the support offered for it is insufficient
- treats a requirement for an outcome as though meeting it were enough to secure that outcome
- assumes that no applicant other than Mark satisfies the stated requirement
