Situation Manufacturing jobs are created either within existing companies or in startups. Manufacturing jobs are being created at a much slower rate this year than last year. It seems likely that the number of new start-ups will not exceed last year’s number and that the average number of manufacturing jobs per start-up will not exceed last year’s number. So fewer manufacturing jobs are likely to be created this year than last year.
Reasoning What function is served by the statement that within existing firms, new jobs have been created this year at well below last year’s record pace? What function is served by the statement that there is no reason to think that the new companies starting up this year will create more jobs per company than did last year’s start-ups? The first statement is one of the statements used as support for the argument’s main conclusion (the prediction about this year’s job creation). The second statement gives another premise used as support for that prediction.
A. The argument does not challenge the claim made by the first statement; it uses the first and the second statement as support for the argument’s main conclusion, the prediction about this year’s job creation.
B. The argument does not challenge the claim made by the first statement, but uses the first and second statements as support for the argument’s main conclusion.
C. The first provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument; the second is not an objection that has been raised against the main conclusion.
D. Correct. The first provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument; the second also provides support for the main conclusion.
E. Neither the first nor the second is meant to support a position that the argument opposes; rather, they are both meant to support the argument’s main conclusion.
The correct answer is D
