Ned: The compensation provided to teachers in government schools has been so low that it fails to attract good quality teachers to join government schools. --> FACT /problem
Accordingly, the Seventh Pay Commission has proposed a raise in the pay scales. --> solution proposed
However, critics argue that implementation of this proposal will not have any impact on the situation since the commission has also stipulated a mandatory service period of 10 years.
--> claim made against the solution proposed
However, the stipulation will not have any adverse effect on the outcome of the plan. --> claim made to support the solution proposed and against the claim made in the earlier sentence
Hardly any government teacher has given up his/her job for a private one within ten years of joining. --> supports the above claim
In the conversation, which of the following roles do the boldfaced portions play?
A.The first is a claim that the argument is positioned to contradict; the second is a counter-claim that is the main conclusion of the argument --> Correct, as 1= claim and 2 = counter claim
B.The first is a judgement that the argument presents as biased; the second is evidence that supports that bias --> Irrelevant. Both wrong
C.The first is evidence that the argument calls into question; the second provides support to that question.--> one is not an evidence but a claim made by critics. Wrong
D.The first presents a conclusion that the argument does not dispute; the second is a claim that the argument seeks to establish as a whole --> argument goes against the claim made by bf1
E.The first is a claim that the argument calls into question; the second is evidence that supports that claim --> BF1 and BF2 are in opposite direction, hence wrong.
