AA的七宗罪，至少用上两个？

比如下面的题目，Firstly, gratuitous assumption ...;  Secondly, the fallacy of "all things are equal" ...
但其实看起来问题都是一样，或者说怎么区分七宗罪？

Hippocrene Plumbing Supply recently opened a wholesale outlet in the location once occupied by the Cumquat Café. Hippocrene has apparently been quite successful there because it is planning to open a large outlet in a nearby city. But the Cumquat Café, one year after moving to its new location, has seen its volume of business drop somewhat from the previous year's. Clearly, the former site is a better business location, and the Cumquat Café has made a mistake in moving to its new address.~

My Answer:

   In the argument, the quthor concluds that Cumquat Cafe made a mistake in moving to its new address. To support his conclusion, the author points out that the location change caused Cumquat Cafe businees drop. Further more, he also assumes that...  At first glance, the author's argument appears to be somewhat convicing, but further reflections reveals that it omits some important concerns that should be addressed to substantiated the claim.

  In the first place, the author falsely rests on a gratuitous assumption that the location is the only cause. However, the assumption is questionable because the author provides no evidence to support it. The author has obviously neglected some other facts that might contribute to the bad performance of Cumquat Cafe. It's likely that, the customer's preference has changed, but the Cumquat Cafe hasn't caught the information. The menu has been out of date. Therefore, without ruling such possibility, the conclustion is unwarranted.

  In the second place, the author commits the fallacy of "all things are equal". The author assums that the background condition have remained the same, but maybe Cumquat Cafe faced much more challenge from competitor after it moved to new location, because the competitors learned quickly and grasped many opportunities that belong to Cumquat Cafe before.

  In conclustion, since the author commits the above mentioned logical mistakes and fails to consider the whole situation comprehensively, his ideas should not be accepted. The evidence cited in the analysis is too weak to lend strong support to what the author claims. To strengthen the argument, the author must convince us that all the conditions remain the same except for location change.

什么叫问题都一样？gratuitous assumption ...＆  the fallacy of "all things are equal" ...？　

不一样！　七宗罪经过那么多牛牛们的检验，怎么会有重复？个人觉得在摸索的过程中，还会总结出更多的罪！　不过这７个的却是王道！！！

其实不一定都要用上七宗罪，你的问题可以改成　是不是要列出至少两个错误？

答案是：是的　２－３个。

祝好运

1、太短、如果没话讲建议列出3个罪状。 不会找不到的，7宗里面找不到就自己吹！只要逻辑有问题就行。

2、plz better not use"in the first place, inthe second place etc." since a native speaker 告诉我 如果你这样写就有了轻重和排序，个人觉得最好不用。  可以说：to begin with, in addition, last but not least ..." 虽然也很没有创意，但他们至少都是并列段。

3、建议不要用太肯定的语气！ 例如你说 the author falsely rests on  &The author has obviously neglected some other facts ... 最好加上 the author seems to ... appears that ... 避免obvious 之类字眼！

4、还没想到。。。

5、等牛牛们来继续帮你哈
