easy · LSAT Logical Reasoning
A critic of a new education policy argues: Professor Williams, a world-renowned expert on eighteenth-century poetry, has publicly criticized the new mathematics curriculum. Therefore we should reconsider that curriculum.
The critic's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the ground that it:
- rests on the opinion of an authority whose field of expertise has no bearing on the matter being decided.
- assumes that Professor Williams's command of poetry makes him incapable of grasping any mathematics whatever.
- neglects to set out the specific reasons for which Professor Williams objects to the new curriculum.
- takes for granted that the existing mathematics curriculum it would replace has performed entirely well.
- presumes that any curriculum even a single qualified critic opposes ought for that reason to be scrapped.
