_________________________________________
CR 1
Publisher: In the age of the internet, the writings of amateurs and hobbyists have become more popular and widespread than ever before. However, the cultural reach of amateur writers will always be limited compared to that of professional writers because amateurs lack the infrastructure and maturity needed to produce culture-defining works.
Sociologist: I once shared this opinion regarding the potential of amateur writing. However, I realized that my research into this phenomenon could not have been produced without the amateur writers and hobbyists who allowed me to interview them and explained the intricacies of online fiction to me.
The sociologist’s response to the publisher is flawed for which of the following reasons?
A. The sociologist does not address the argument made by the publisher that amateur writers lack the infrastructure and maturity needed to produce culture-defining works.
B. The sociologist refused to interview any professional writers for his research.
C. The sociologist’s response is invalid because he has changed his mind about the potential of amateur writing.
D. The sociologist’s opinion about the potential of amateur writers opposes that of the publisher.
E. The sociologist does not discuss the popularity of the writings of amateurs and hobbyists.

CR 2
General: The commander of the Air Force has recommended that we deploy the G28 aircraft in the reconnaissance mission, because the G28 can fly lower to the ground without being detected and could therefore retrieve the necessary information more efficiently than the currently stationed D12. But the D12 is already in the area and poised for takeoff, and would have just enough time to accomplish the mission if deployed immediately, while the G28 would require four days just to arrive in the area and get outfitted for the mission. Since the mission's deadline is immovable, I am forced to overrule the commander's recommendation and order the deployment of the D12.
Which of the following is assumed in the general's argument?
(A) The quality of information retrieved from the mission would be higher if the D12 were deployed than if the G28 were deployed.
(B) By the time the G28 arrived in the area and was outfitted for the mission, the D12 would have already completed the mission if deployed immediately.
(C) The ability of an aircraft to fly low to the ground is not a significant consideration when choosing aircraft for a reconnaissance mission.
(D) It would take longer for any aircraft not currently in the area besides the G28 to arrive in the area and get outfitted for the mission.
(E) Any time saved during the mission due to the operation of the more efficient G28 would not offset the additional time required to deploy the G28.
