Investigator: XYZ Coins has misled its clients by promoting some coins as “Extremely rare” when in fact those coins are relatively common and readily available.
XYZ agent: That is ridiculous. XYZ Coins is one of the largest coin dealers in the world. We authenticated the coins we sell through a nationally recognized firm and operate a licensed coin dealership.
The XYZ agent’s reply is most vulnerable to the criticism that it
A: exaggerates the investigator’s claims in order to make them appear absurd
B: accuses the investigator of bias but presents no evidence to support that accusation
C: fails to establish that other coin dealers do not also authenticate the coins those dealers sell also authenticate the coins those dealers sell
D: lists strengths of XYZ Coins while failing to address the investigator’s charge
E: provides no definition for the inherently vague phrase “extremely rare”.作者: Louisa_xy 时间: 2002-12-1 15:26
