Tax Avoidance- Parallel Reasoning

Expert replies
by kanha81 » Wed Apr 15, 2009 9:35 am
Hello,

I could not find if the the following quesiton has been discussed before in the forum. Please pardon me, if it has been already discussed.

An independent audit found no indication of tax
avoidance on the part of the firm in the firm’s
accounts; therefore, no such problem exists.
The questionable reasoning in the argument above is
most closely paralleled by that in which one of the
following?

(A) The plan for the introduction of the new
product has been unmodified so far;
therefore, it will not be modified in the
future.

(B) The overall budget for the projects has been
exceeded by a large amount; therefore, at
least one of the projects has exceeded its
budget by a large amount.

(C) A compilation of the best student essays of the
year includes no essays on current events;
therefore, students have become apathetic
toward current events.

(D) A survey of schools in the district found no
school without a need for building repair;
therefore, the education provided to students
in the district is substandard.

(E) An examination of the index of the book found
no listing for the most prominent critic of the
theory the book advocates; therefore, the
book fails to refer to that critic.

I would like to know the tricks or thought process that you put into practice when encounter such questions. Thank you for sharing.

OA will be posted soon.

The Answer is C.

Express the stimulus in abstract terms.Just because something cannot be found doesnt mean that the thing does not exist.

The Reasoning in option C is along the same lines.

IMO E.

An Independent audit couldn't find the tax avoidance on the firm's part doesn't guarantee that no such problem exists".

An examination of index doesn't list most important critic doesn't mean that the book fails to address it.

Thanks

My guess is E

I don't know how to explain why, other than, they both seem to reason that if something is not listed, it doesn't exist.
