Woven basket characterzied by a partcular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean. Write a response in which you discuss what sepcific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the arguement.
Palea的居民没有来过Lithos，虽然P无法过河，但论者没有说是否只有过河，才能到达L，论者指出河很深，而P没船，但论者没有提供史前时代这条河的状况，很有可能这条大河在史前并不存在或是很浅，第二即使有这条河，P也可能使用一些简便的工具，例如木板，过河。
篮子出现在Brim，一定是Palea的居民所为?论者认为P没有到过这里，所以这些篮子不是P的，但就算P没有到过这里，论者也么有提供证据其他人不会把P的篮子带到这里来，比如说P的后人。

The following appeared as part of a letter to the editor of a scientific journal.
A recent study of eighteen rhesus monkeys provides clues as to the effects of birth order on an individual's levels of stimulation. The study showed that in stimulating situations( such as an encounter with an unfmailiar monkey), firstborn infant monkeys produce up to twice as much of the hormone cortisol, which primes the body for increased activity levels, as do their younger siblings. Firstborn humans also produce relatively high levels of cortisol in stimulating situations( such as the return of a parent after an absence). The study also found that during pregnanct, first-time mother monkeys had higher levels of cortisol than did those who had had several offspring.
Write a response in which you discuss one or more alternative expalnations that could rival the proposed explanation and explain how your explanations can plausibly account for the facts presented in the argument.
Argument提纲
头胎出生的年龄一般比他的兄弟姐妹要大，个体更大，分泌量自然越高。比如头胎生的猴子年龄大，本来激素水平就高于她的兄弟姐妹，但等到兄弟姐妹到他这个年龄，说不定激素分泌更高。所以说这个argu没有形成单条件变量的control 实验，就不能形成确定的定论。
此argu还忽略了后天环境的影响，先出生的婴儿经历要更多，分泌的激素自然受到其他后天条件的影响。

The following appeared as a letter to the editor from a Central Plaza store owner.
Over the past two years, the number of shoppers in Central Plaza has been steadily decreasing while the popularity of skateboarding has increased dramatically. Many Central Plaza store owners believe that the decrase in their business is due to the number of skateboard users in the plaza. There has also been a dramatic increase in the amount of litter and vadalism throught the plaza. Thus, we recommend that the city prohibit skateboarding in Central Plaza. If skateboarding is prohibited here, we predict that business in Central Plaza will return to its previously high levels.
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
Argument提纲
人们不爱去广场的原因是什么?很有可能因果关系倒置，是因为广场上没有人，人们才滑滑板。即使禁止了滑板运动也不一定会有作用，人们也可能不去广场。
没有直接的证据表明垃圾的数量和破坏公物的事件是由玩滑板的人造成的，即使是，禁止滑板运动就能减少垃圾数量了吗?

The following appeared in a letter from a homeowner to a friend.
Of the two leading real estate firms in our town-Adams Realty and Fitch Realty-Adams Realty is clearly superior. Adams has 40 real estate agents, in contrast, Fitch has 25, many of whom work only part-time. Moreover, Adams' revenue last year was twice as high as that of Fitch and included home sales that averaged $168000, compared to Fitch's $144000. Homes listed with Adams sell faster as well: 10 years ago I listed my home with Fitch and it took more than four months to sell, last year when I sold another home I listed it with Adams, and it took only one month. Thus, if you want to sell your home quickly and at a good price, you should use Adams Realty.
Write a response in which you examine the stated and unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
Argument提纲
Adam40个员工总的工作时间小于Fitch25个兼职员工的总工作时间的2倍，即Adan员工平均工作时间小于Fitch兼职员工的工作时间的1.25倍，只有这样，Adam的总收入是Fitch的总收入的2倍才能说明Adam的员工工作效率更高。
两个公司出售的大多数房子基本属于同一类别，同一地段，同样大小，这样平均价格更高才能说明销售人员更有能力为客户赚钱。
去年房地产市场和10年前相比，有很多变化，因此只有形式相同，才能说明卖房更快的销售能力越高。
