Topic 509: The following appeared in an editorial from a newspaper serving the town of Saluda. "The Saluda Consolidated High School offers over 200 different courses from which its students can choose.

Discuss how well reasoned . . . Etc. | Score & Analysis

The conclusion endorsed in this statement is that by eliminating at least half of the courses offered there and focusing on a basic curriculum, Saluda Consolidated High School could improve student performance at Consolidated and also save many tax dollars. This argument appears to be somehow convincing at the first glance, but further reflection reveals that the conclusion is based on some dubious assumption and the reasoning is biased. As the paragraphs to come will demonstrate how groundless the conclusion is.
