To fully appreciate contemporary folk songs is to understand the history of American country music more comprehensively than those that do not understand the history of American country music. Many musicians do not appreciate contemporary folk songs. Therefore, those that prefer contemporary folk songs have more of an understanding of the history of American country music than many musicians.
Which of the following is an assumption upon which the argument depends?
A)Many musicians prefer contemporary folk songs.
B)Those that fully appreciate contemporary folk songs enjoy contemporary folk songs.
C)Those that prefer contemporary folk songs understand the history of American country music.
D)Those that prefer contemporary folk songs fully appreciate contemporary folk songs.
E)Many musicians fully appreciate contemporary folk songs.
SO a and e are clearly out if you negate them .
B - > Those that fully appreciate contemporary folk songs enjoy contemporary folk songs.
negate - > Those that fully appreciate contemporary folk songs do not enjoy contemporary folk songs.
prefer = understanding = appreciate ; here those who are enjoying are appreciating so they do have understanding ; this doesnt tear the conclusion ,
C)Those that prefer contemporary folk songs understand the history of American country music. same as conclusion ,
D)Those that prefer contemporary folk songs fully appreciate contemporary folk songs.
negate - > D)Those that prefer contemporary folk songs do not fully appreciate contemporary folk songs.
one who prefers dont appreciate ; this means he doent have knowledge as hence the conclusion fails as prefer = understanding = appreciate .
