To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must have a GPA above 3.8. Maria has a GPA of 3.9. So Maria will definitely receive the scholarship.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because it
- employs a single key term in two different senses.
- treats a requirement for an outcome as though meeting it guaranteed the outcome.
- treats a statistical correlation as proof of a causal relationship.
- attacks the source of a claim instead of the merits of the scholarship rules.
- assumes that no other student has a GPA higher than Maria's.
