10. A fundamental illusion in robotics is the belief that improvements in robots will liberate humanity from "hazardous and demeaning work" Engineers are designing only those types of robots that can be properly maintained with the least expensive, least skilled human labor possible. Therefore, robots will not eliminate demeaning work-only substitute one type of demeaning work for another.

The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to the criticism that it

(A) ignores the consideration that in a competitive business environment some jobs might be eliminated if robots are not used in the manufacturing process

(B) assumes what it sets out to prove, that robots create demeaning work.

(C) Does not specify whether or not the engineers who design robots consider their work demeaning

(D) Attempts to support its conclusion by an appeal to the emotion of fear, which is often experienced by people faced with the prospect of losing their jobs to robots

(E) Fails to address the possibility that the amount of demeaning work eliminated by robots might be significantly greater than the amount they create

The answer is E.I didn't find any faults in the argument when i read over the item.I don't know how to resolve this type,pls help me.THKS!

10. A fundamental illusion in robotics is the belief that improvements in robots will liberate human ...

Spot the question type: Weaken the argument

Reasoning structure:

P1: Illusion is the believe that improvement in robots will liberate humanity from hazardous and demeaning work.

P2: Engineers only design robots that can be properly maintained with the least expensive, least skilled human labor possible.

C: Robot will not eliminate demeaning work, it only substitute one type of demeaning work for another.

Author takes for granted that

A. the " works " generated by robot is one type of demeaning work
B. the works generated by robot must be equal to the numbers of works it could eliminate.

Let us dive into the options:

A, Not really relevant to the predictions we made. its about the total numbers it create must be either outweigh or the same to the job it creates.

B. There is no any circular reasoning here.

C. Not really relevant to the core of the argument

D. I don't think anyone would choose this answer....

E. Perfectly matching our prediction above.
