In recent years, a village outside Osaka, Japan has taken to hosting a ninja festival, a celebration of Japan’s heritage that reflects on its feudal past while exalting its pop culture driven present. But clearly only children take this festival seriously, for they are the only attendees who bother to dress up as ninjas.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
Any attendee who dresses up as a ninja takes the festival seriously.
No attendee who takes the festival seriously would fail to dress up as a ninja.
Anyone who is not dressed up as a ninja is not attending the festival
The festival organizers have instituted a ninja-themed dress code.
If an attendee is not dressed as a ninja, then that attendee will not be taken seriously by other attendees
the argument assumes that dressing up as ninja is sufficient condition to be considered serious
Any attendee who dresses up as a ninja takes the festival seriously.
negation
not all attendee who dresses up as a ninja takes the festival seriously.
space o to 99, the argument falls apart because there is a possibility that even if dressed as ninja, still not serious about the event
No attendee who takes the festival seriously would fail to dress up as a ninja.
negation
some attendee who takes the festival seriously would fail to dress up as a ninja.
space 1 to 100 again the conclusion is shattered
Bizzard !!
in the explanation they say that necessary condition but i disagree because there is example in
official guide that uses the same structure as this argument and assumes that the condition is sufficient, even the
e-gmat instructor says so
Here is the example Although parapsychology is often considered a pseudoscience, it is in fact a genuine scientific enterprise, for it uses scientific methods such as controlled experiments and statistical tests of clearly stated hypotheses to examine the questions it raises.
here as well the argument assumes that scientific methods is sufficient condition to be considered genuine enterprise
I'm so confused !! please help
