JORGE, the shipping manager at Durable Products, writes a MEMO proposing that that they stop using RoadHog Trucking Company and ship everything by L.B. Haines. The reason he gives is that two of the accounts that have been shipping by L.B. Haines during the last year increased their orders by more than 10%, so he is certain that switching trucking firms will cause other accounts to grow too. The executives of the company do not accept Jorge’s suggestion. Why was his memo unconvincing?
A) slanting of facts
B) exaggeration
C) either/or logic
D) weak analogy
E) faulty cause/effect argument

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": faulty cause-effect argument.

Explanation:

A faulty cause-effect argument is provided based on unproven beliefs or ideas that have no reasonable support. Those points of view typically represent the subjective conclusion of an event but that conclusion is inaccurate or too biased that tends to be generally rejected.
