Advertisement: The world's best coffee beans come from Colombia. The more Colombian beans in a blend of coffee, the better the blend, and no company purchases more Colombian beans than Kreemo Coffee, Inc. So it only stands to reason that if you buy a can of Kreemo's coffee, you're buying the best blended coffee available today. 世界上最好的咖啡豆来自于哥伦比亚。在咖啡中加入的哥伦比亚咖啡豆越多,咖啡越好,没有其他公司比Kreemo Coffee 公司购买的这种咖啡豆多。所以这就是如果你买Kreemo的咖啡,那么你买的是当今可以买到的最好咖啡的原因。 The reasoning of the argument in the advertisement is flawed because it overlooks the possibility that 上述论述有逻辑缺陷因为它忽略以下的可能性: (A) the equipment used by Kreemo to blend and package its coffee is no different from that used by most other coffee producers kreemo用于混合及包装其咖啡的设备与其他咖啡生产公司所用的设备没有区别。
(B) not all of Kreemo's competitors use Colombian coffee beans in the blends of coffee they sell 并不是所有kreemo公司的竞争者都在他们销售的咖啡中加入哥伦比亚咖啡豆。 (C) Kreemo sells more coffee than does any other company kreemo比其他公司卖的咖啡多。
(D) Kreemo's coffee is the most expensive blended coffee available today Kreemo的咖啡是当今最贵的咖啡。
(E) the best unblended coffee is better than the best blended coffee 最好的非混合型咖啡好于最好的混合型咖啡 Obviously, the best answer is C. The argument is based on the priciple that "the more Colombian beans in a blend of coffee, the better the blend". But the arguer falsely claims that Kreemo's coffee would be the best coffee just because this company purchase more Columbia Coffee beans than any other company.Here the arguer assume that more Columbia coffee beans will be added to every unit of kreemo's coffee. Then, C broke this assumption because if they sell more coffee, they will purchase more coffee beans.
Logical flaw questions often related with assumption. If the argument fails to rule out other possibilities or indicate the analogous range,the argument is probably unconvincing. Therefore, my suggestion for this kind questions is firstly, to find out the assumption through the arguer's reasoning, and then to try to find one choice to weaken or break the assumption.
In addition, I think the arguer commits a fallacy of false analogy.The typical question is to enlarge the range of analogous objects. If we can see the arguer change the range of analogous objects, we can easily find the logical flaw. (以上拙见欢迎大牛批评指正。) |
