16. Concetta: Franchot was a great writer because she was ahead of her time in understanding that industrialization was taking an unconscionable toll on the family structure of the working class.

Alicia: Franchot was not a great writer. The mark of a great writer is the ability to move people with the power of the written word, not the ability to be among the first to grasp a social issue. Besides, the social consequences of industrialization were widely understood in Franchot’s day.

In her disagreement with Concetta, Alicia does which one of the following?

(A) accepts Concetta’s criterion and then adds evidence to Concetta’s case

(B) discredits Concetta’s evidence and then generalizes from new evidence

(C) rejects Concetta’s criterion and then disputes a specific claim

(D) disputes Concetta’s conclusion and then presents facts in support of an alternative criterion（C）

(E) attacks one of Concetta’s claims and then criticizes the structure of her argument

D 为什么错? (D) disputes Concetta’s conclusion and then presents facts in support of an alternative criterion

1.“Franchot was not a great writer.”我认为就是D 的disputes Concetta’s conclusion啊!怎么会是C 的rejects Concetta’s criterion啊?

C 中的criterion 应该指的是后一句话吧“The mark of a great writer is the ability to move people with the power of the written word, not the ability to be among the first to grasp a social issue.

怎么会是disputes a specific claim”争论一个具体的主张呢?

D) is not accurate because: there is an alternative criterion, but she does not present facts in support of the criterion;

""C 中的criterion 应该指的是后一句话吧“The mark of a great writer is the ability to move people with the power of the written word, not the ability to be among the first to grasp a social issue""----right

"怎么会是disputes a specific claim”争论一个具体的主张呢?"------- "the social consequences of industrialization were widely understood in Franchot’s day." 就是在反驳上面 "she was ahead of her time in understanding "这个说法

16.

Spot the question type: Method of reasoning

C: If F was ahead in understanding the industrialization was talking an unconscionable toll on the family structure of the working class, F must be a great writer.

A: If the mark is the ability to move people with the power of the written word but not to be among the first to grasp a social issue, F must not be a great writer. Beside, the social consequences of industrialization were widely understood in F's day.

*A undermine C's conclusion by offering other criteria as the sufficient condition to support A's conclusion, and also by attacking C's premise to indicate that the premise is not true.

let us dive into the answer.

A. No she does not accept C's criterion

B. she did discredit C's evidence and then offering new conclusion from new evidence, but we are not sure if she generalizes ( Contender )

C. She did reject the criterion and also disputes a specific claim ( looked good, contender )

D. She did dispute C's conclusion by presenting an alternative criterion as " the support " for new conclusion

E. She did not criticize the structure of the argument, and C only does have one claim.

Ok, let us go back to B, She does not generalize from new evidence; instead, she counter the claim by offering new evidence to establish a new claim, which is opposite of the claim from C.

C is the best answer.
