Question ID:PT85 S2 Q3 Passage:Legislator: A foreign company is attempting to buy FerroMetal, a domestic iron-mining company. We should prohibit this sale. Since manufacturing is central to our economy, we need a dependable supply of iron ore. If we allow a foreign company to buy FerroMetal, we will have no grounds to stop foreign companies from buying other iron-mining companies. Soon foreigners will control most of the iron mining here, leaving our manufacturers at their mercy. The end result will be that our manufacturers will no longer be able to rely on a domestic supply of iron ore.

Correct Answer Choice:DChoice A:The argument draws a conclusion that simply restates a premise presented in support of that conclusion. Choice B:The argument takes for granted that what is true of one particular industry is true of industry in general. Choice C:The argument defends a practice solely on the grounds that the practice is widely accepted. Choice D:The argument presents a chain of possible consequences of a given event as if it were the only possible chain of consequences of that event. Choice E:The argument concludes that one event would cause a second event even though the second event would have to precede the first.
