1. Parent: The city education department is unable to distinguish between annoyances and important problems. For instance, prohibiting students from having cell phones is an overreaction.

Which of the following is an assumption made by the parent?
A Students having cell phones does not constitute an important problem for the city schools.
B Students have no need for cell phones in school.
C Faculty and staff should be allowed to possess cell phones.
D Students need to have cell phones because some of them have no stay-at-home parent.
E An interest in solving problems is the most important attribute of an educational leader.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A Any person who receives chiropractic treatment for back pain may also benefit from other forms of treatment.
