对第一道题目,用以下方式解释了以下,好像比较清楚。 1. If the law punishes littering, then the city has an obligation to provide trash cans. But the law does not punish littering, so the city has no such obligation.
A. the law punishes littering B. the city has an obligation to provide trash cans. A->B, 是原命题
Not A. the law does not punishes littering Not B. the city has no obligation to provide trash cans Not A->Not B 是A->B的否命题。
Which one of the following exhibits a flawed pattern of reasoning most similar to that in the argument above?

(D) In the event that my flight had been late, I would have missed the committee meeting. Fortunately, my flight is on time. Therefore, I will make it to the meeting. A. my flight had been late B.

(E) When the law is enforced, some people are jailed. But no one is in jail. So clearly the law is not enforced. A. the law is enforced B. some people are jailed A->B 是原命题 Not A. the law is not enforced Not B. no one is in jail Not B -> Not A,是原命题的逆否命题。
