Lightening damages

Expert replies

Frieda: Lightening causes fires and damages to the electronic equipment. Since lightening rods can prevent any major damage, every building should have one.

Erik: Your recommendation is pointless. It is true that lightning occasionally causes fires, but faulty wiring and overloaded circuits cause far more fires and damage to equipment than lightening does.

Erik's response fails to establish that Frieda's recommendation should not be acted on because his response

A. Does not show that the benefits that would follow from Frieda's recommendation would be offset by any disadvantages.

B. Does not offer any additional way of lessening the risk associated with lightening.

C. Appeals to Frieda's emotions rather than to her reason.

D. Introduces an irrelevant comparison between overloaded circuits and faulty wiring

E. Confuses the notion of preventing damage with that of causing inconvenience.

B --> Even if Erik had given an additional way which is not better than Frieda's, Frieda's recommendation still would hold good. Hence, does not make much of an impact.

C --> Not sure how Frieda emoted while making the statements :). Frieda had presented a fact and then his suggestion.

D --> Irrelevant

E --> No hint of inconvenience can be extracted from Erik's statement.


Erik had started of by mentioning that Frieda's argument is "pointless" which made me to hope that she would give a solution to make Frieda's recommendation fall apart. But she draws a parallel argument. Thus she fails to highlight the problem with Frieda's recommendation. Hence , IMO A.
