argument is weak.
[SOMU.MEHER GOPALAKRISHNA, JONNA. MANOHAR]
1. Quest should market tours to professionals in certain fields. Engineers are very meticulous. They
would enjoy Quest tours if they knew more about them.
This statement is illogical, so it is a weak statement.

2. Assuming that most U.S. travelers want to stay in the United States this summer, Quest should
promote popular American tours.
It was just an assumption, One can’t make deciscions only depending on assumptions, unless he can
prove it so.
3. Quest should schedule monthly tours to Norway because it feels like the right thing to do.
Baseless argument. It doesn’t have any strong base to agree, Quest just feel it was right without any
clear demand.
4. Quest tour enrollments were high until Keisha Lane became vice president of operations. Her
decisions are clearly causing the decline in tour sales.
Unless there is no strong evidence, that her decisions are the reason for the decline in sales ,one
cannot make a statement just depending on the statistics of small period.
