Dear SDCAR, thanks for your workI don't understand No.4,why not choose E?4) Garbage in this neighborhood probably will not be collected until Thursday this week.(Main conclusion) Garbage is usually collected here on Wednesdays, and the garbage collectors in this city are extremely reliable.(is it an opinion or premises?i am not quiet sure)However, Monday was a public holiday, and after a public holiday that falls on a Monday, garbage throughout the city is supposed to be collected one day later than usual.
The argument proceeds by
(A) treating several pieces of irrelevant evidence as though they provide support for the conclusion. (B) indirectly establishing that one thing is likely to occur by directly ruling out all of the alternative possibilities (C) providing information that allows application of a general rule to a specific case. (D) generalizing about all actions of a certain kind on the basis of a description of one such action (E) treating something that is probable as though it were inevitable-- by 会员 athenawujj (2012/5/9 23:11:29)
Main conclusion: Garbage in this neighborhood probably will not be collected until Thursday this week
And the whole passage sets up the logic chain which supports the above conclusion. There is no somthing probable involved here. If . . . then ... statements are clearcut, not probable, but inevitable if the trigger is present.
