If students play video games, their school work will suffer,
and they will not have the ability to succeed in life, ending up in lower

video games will increase our taxes.

speeding all the time?
Question 6
5 out of 5 points
Correct
This administration is not anti-German, as it has been
alleged. Germany is a great country. It has contributed immensely to the
world’s artistic treasury. Goethe and Schiller made magnificent contributions
to literature, and Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, and Brahms did the same in music.
Question 7
5 out of 5 points
Correct
Since Sodium and Chloride are each toxic to humans, the
combination of sodium and chloride would be harmful to people.
Question 8
5 out of 5 points
Correct
Humanitarian groups have argued in favor of housing for the
poor. Apparently what they want is another high-density project. Unfortunately,
these projects have been tried in the past and have failed. In no time they
turn into ghettos with astronomical rates of crime and delinquency. Chicago’s
Cabrini-Green is a prime example. Clearly, these humanitarian arguments are not
what they seem.
Question 9
5 out of 5 points
Correct
Gay and lesbian groups have argued in favor of legislation
to prevent their people from being discriminated against. But we must remember
that a genetic basis for homosexuality has yet to be discovered. Granted, some
studies indicate that homosexuality has a biological origin, but these studies
are too limited to be conclusive. Thus, the safest policy right now is to take
no action at all on these questions.
Question 10
5 out of 5 points
Correct
It was his fault, Officer. You can tell by the kind of car
I’m driving and by my clothes that I am a good citizen and would not lie. Look
at the rattletrap he is driving, and look at how he is dressed. You can’t
believe anything that a dirty, longhaired hippie like that might tell you.
Search his car; he probably has pot in it.
Question 11
5 out of 5 points
Correct
There is a good deal of talk these days about the need to
eliminate pesticides from our fruits and vegetables. But many of these foods
are essential to our health. Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A,
broccoli is rich in iron, and oranges and grapefruits have lots of vitamin C.
Question 12
5 out of 5 points
Correct
Child to parent: Your argument that I should stop stealing
candy from the corner store is no good. You told me yourself just a week ago
that you, too, stole candy when you were a kid.
Question 13
5 out of 5 points
Correct
Why can’t I use that swear word? I have heard you use it.
Question 14
5 out of 5 points
Correct
Environmentalists are continually harping about the dangers
of nuclear power. Unfortunately, electricity is dangerous no matter where it
comes from. Every year hundreds of people are electrocuted by accident. Since
most of these accidents are caused by carelessness, they could be avoided if
people would just exercise greater caution.
Question 15
5 out of 5 points
Correct
You are all intelligent people, so you should be able to see
the fallacy in his statement.
Question 16
5 out of 5 points

Officer, please excuse my going over the speed limit, but my
mother is ill and I’m being audited by the IRS, and I don’t know how I can meet
all my bills.
Question 17
5 out of 5 points
Correct
Congress shouldn’t bother to consult major universities
about educational appropriations. As members of educational establishment, they
will naturally want as much money for education as they think they can get.
Question 18
5 out of 5 points
Correct
Professor Andrews, surely I deserve a B in logic. I know
that I have gotten F’s on all the tests, but if you give me an F for my final
grade, I will lose my scholarship. That will force me to drop out of school,
and my poor, aged parents, who yearn to see me graduate, will be grief-stricken
for the rest of their lives.
Question 19
5 out of 5 points
Correct
If we make an exception for you, then we’ll have to make an
exception for everyone.
Question 20
5 out of 5 points
Correct
Dr. Jones, this seminar was the best course I have had. I
wondered if we could discuss my grades?
