5 the apple sold in this cafeteria are greasy. The cashier told me that the apples are in that condition when they are delivered to the cafeteria and that the cafeteria does not wash the apples it sells. Most fruit is sprayed with dangerous pesticides before it is harvested,and is dangerous until it is washed .Clearly, the cafeteria is selling pesticide-covered fruit,thereby endangering its patrons.
标准形式：1）彻底排除在进入饭店以前被清洗的可能
二，小结：如果论证都是有明显缺陷的，假设的作用在于弥补其中的缺陷。而对于一个一个论证而言，最严重的缺陷就是反例的存在，即与论证的结论相矛盾的命题的存在。从这个角度而言，假设的作用就是防止反例的产生，排除反例的存在。然而，要弥补一个有缺陷的论证，排除一个有缺陷的论证的反例，其假设一定视角绝对的，或者说是较苛刻的。这种假设在语言的标志是使用诸如ALL,EVERY,NO,ONLY ,AT LEASTZ这样的词 |
