39)A recent sales study indicates that consumption of seafood dishes in Bay City restaurants hasincreased by 30 percent during the past five years. Yet there are no currentlyoperating city restaurants whose specialty is seafood. Moreover, the majorityof families in Bay City are two-income families, and a nationwide study hasshown that such families eat significantly fewer home-cooked meals than theydid a decade ago but at the same time express more concern about healthfuleating. Therefore, the new Captain Seafood restaurant that specializes inseafood should be quite popular and profitable.Writea response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluatethe argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen theargument. 提纲 1全国性的调查是否适用 2健康食物是否就是seafood 3餐馆开了真的会有profits吗 The argument is well presented yetfar-fetched. It lays a claim that the new opining seafood restaurant will beprofitable. Nevertheless, the argument is de facto unreasonable due to severalflaws such as the value of a "national wide" survey to the Bay City,the preference of seafood in the city and the real profit of the newrestaurant These logical fallacies canbe diagnosed after a close scrutiny, albeit they may appear plausible at acursory glance. To begin with, a threshold problem in theargument that the author provides no evidence about the national wide surveycan be borrowed to indicate the situation Bay City. It seems thatthe survey represent the information about the two-income families are morewilling to dine out side, but the Bay Citycan be an exception reasonable. It is totally possible that young couples inthe city prefer to cook and enjoy a romantic dinner at home. Without providingnecessary evidence, the argument is dubious at best. In spite of unsure survey, the statementmaintains ill-conceived. The author uses the expression of "healthyfood" to hint that people will prefer the seafood. It is unacceptable forthe reason that a lot of food apart from sea food are proved to have a evenhigher nutrition value, the vegetable for instance, are showed to have apositive influence to those who always eat meats for its abundance in fiber.Failure to explain away other likely scenarios in some degree compromises thecredence of argument. Even assuming that the seafood is thecertain healthy food local residents need, a significant flaw in the statementis that the author arbitrarily concludes the new opening restaurant will earn aprofit with a lot of customers. However, the profit, economically, is afunction of both revenue and expense. Only indicating the revenue brought bymany customers can by no means leads to the high profit without concerning thecost. Perhaps in order to attract more local people to eat, the restaurant mustexpend more dollars for material and hiring better cookers. So adopting theauthor's suggestions will certain undermines, rather than benefit, the outcomeof the argument. In retrospect, it seems precipitous for theauthor to jump into a conclusion based on a series of problematic premises. Todismiss the specter of implausible in the proposal, the author ought to providecogent evidence that the national wide survey is valuable in the Bay City, the citizens regard the seafood as oneand only healthy food and the expense of restaurant are not as high as theincome so the restaurant can still make a profit. After all, feckless attemptswith a fallible method can be nothing but a fool's errand. Thus only bygrasping the gist of argument can the author deduce the convincible conclusion.
