Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Circular reasoning is a logical fallacy in which you try to support your claim by restating it in different words. The statement We know temporary workers cannot handle this task because temps are unqualified for it doesn't prove anything because the claim and the supporting evidence are essentially identical.

Answer: D
Explanation: D) With deductive reasoning, you work from a generalization to a specific conclusion. To persuade your boss to hire additional customer support staff, you might point to industry surveys that show how crucial customer satisfaction is to corporate profits.
