1. Inference Question: Statement: "All mammals have fur.

" Question: "Is it possible


for a creature to be a mammal and not have fur?"
Answer: No, it is not possible for a creature to be a mammal and not have fur.
This is because the statement "All mammals have fur" implies that fur is a
characteristic shared by all mammals, and therefore, if something is a mammal, it
must have fur.
2. Assumption Question: Statement: "If the company invests in employee training,
productivity will increase." Question: "What assumption is this statement based
on?"
Answer: The assumption in this statement is that employee training has a positive
impact on productivity. The statement assumes a cause-and-effect relationship
between training and increased productivity.
3. Interpretation Question: Statement: "The suspect's fingerprints were found at
the crime scene." Question: "What does the presence of the suspect's fingerprints
at the crime scene suggest?"
Answer: The presence of the suspect's fingerprints at the crime scene suggests
that the suspect was at the scene of the crime at some point. However, it does
not prove that the suspect committed the crime.
4. Evaluation of Arguments Question: Argument: "Increasing taxes on sugary
drinks will reduce the incidence of obesity." Question: "Is the argument provided
strong or weak? Why?"
Answer: The argument is weak because it makes a broad claim without providing
sufficient evidence or reasoning to support the assertion that increasing taxes on
sugary drinks will reduce obesity. It lacks data and logical support.
5. Drawing Conclusions Question: Statement: "All men are mortal. Socrates is a
man." Question: "What conclusion can be drawn from these statements?"
Answer: The conclusion that can be drawn is that Socrates is mortal. This follows
from the first statement that all men are mortal and the second statement that
Socrates is a man.
