Practice Using 4-Step Method For Reasoning

[Page 29 of 32]

Use the CAT 4-Step Method to answer this question.

A study of twenty overweight men revealed that each man experienced significant weight loss after adding SlimDown, an artificial food supplement, to his daily diet. For three months, each man consumed one SlimDown portion every morning after exercising, and then followed his normal diet for the rest of the day. Clearly, anyone who consumes one portion of SlimDown every day for at least three months will lose weight and will look and feel his or her best.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

Preview the question stem. What do you see in the question stem that's significant?

Countinue

The author concludes that by taking this product once a day for three months you will be able to lose weight. He bases this on twenty overweight men who, for three months, took the product every morning after exercising, and then ate their normal diet. You knew from the question stem that you're looking for an assumption, so you should have been thinking about gaps between the evidence and conclusion.
