No matter what their keepers say, domesticated wolves are still wild animals. Some wild animals are too dangerous to be kept as pets.

Question One

1. No matter what their keepers say, domesticated wolves are still wild animals. Some wild animals are too dangerous to be kept as pets.
2. The mayor has made San Francisco a city that entertains illegal aliens. He doesn’t seem to appreciate that San Francisco should follow US laws and culture.

Question two

1. Even though some mammals like the man can write, not all mammals can learn to write. For example, a Dobby is a Koala hence a mammal, but he cannot learn to write.
2. Most universities in the world have philosophy departments. Philosophy departments include critical thinking classes which mean that majority of the universities have a critical thinking class.

Question Three

The argument is not valid. First of all, there is no evidence or explanation as to why the amount of chocolate in the world should be increased. Secondly, it does not make sense that Guyana, French Guyana and Suriname should all be turned into a cacao bean plantation. These are three different countries, with different people, cultures and governments. It is therefore impossible to turn three countries into one cacao plantation.

For the argument to make sense, there should be an explanation as to why more chocolate is needed in the world, like the benefits of eating chocolate. Secondly, there should be an explanation showing that the amount of chocolate currently available is not enough. Lastly, a good proposal of how to increase the amount of chocolate in the world should be made. For example, encouraging countries that produce cacao to engage in more intensive cacao farming.

Question Four

To enter the sweepstake, you will only need 50p to post a letter with your name and address are given to put your name in the draw. Over 400,000 people are expected to participate, and only one person can win. The winner gets 100,000 Euros. Therefore, this means that the expected monetary value for posting the letter will be 100,000 Euros because that is the money you stand to win once you participate in the sweepstake.

Question Seven

1. At your last visit, I explained to you that the pain in your abdomen could either be caused by a kidney infection, a musculoskeletal injury or cancer in the pancreas or liver. However, there are no indications of a kidney infection from the urinalysis. Secondly, we have to rule out that you have a musculoskeletal injury because if that was the case, the pain should have subsided and not increased by now. I’m afraid we cannot rule out cancer at this point until we do further tests.
2. Nietzsche’s going irrevocably mad could have been caused either by his tortured intellectual life as per the beliefs of romantically minded people. Alternatively, it could have been caused by syphilis he contracted as a young man. However, if it were his intellectual proclivities, then many other notable intellectuals should have gone irrevocably mad yet very few have. That said, the cause of his madness is most likely caused by syphilis.

Question Eight

The argument is somewhat incorrect in how it utilizes causal relationships of different points and facts. The statement that “Taking lots of vitamin C makes my colds go away” shows that the taking of vitamin C is what causes the cold to go away. However, that may not be the case. The cold may disappear even without having to take lots of vitamin C.

Question Eight (2)

1. https://youtu.be/fgY744j9CPoThis YouTube video is an example of a vague advert. The advert talks about solving a problem that affects many people, yet it does not pinpoint what the problem is. It gives the percentage of people affected by the problem, yet it does not say what the problem is. The solution to the problem in the advert is merely talking to a physician. The advert should be more specific, stating that: “If you are facing any health challenges, like muscle pain, you shouldn’t let it affect your quality of life. Talk to your physician and get a solution.”
