Practice Exercise 8 A
Faulty Thinking
- A new nuclear power plant should be built there because the operators
of the plant are sorry about the accident, and they said they will be
more careful next time.
- Justin finished writing his book last week. Justin said it was the
best piece of writing he has ever produced. I think a publisher should
publish his book.

have the right-of-way, so drivers need to pay attention. Besides, if
a car ever hit him, he would simply sue the driver.
- My teacher is a lousy teacher because I failed the final exam. I
would have passed the exam if he wasn’t such a poor teacher.
- It was cold and there were clouds in the sky last January 3rd. It
is cloudy, cold, and January 3rd today. It will probably snow for two
days straight.
- Parlee Beach and the Sahara Dessert both have sand, and they are
both great places to get a suntan and to relax.
- You will have more money if you buy ten CDs because they are on sale
for twenty dollars each, regularly twenty-five dollars each. That means
you will actually save fifty dollars, so you will have more money to
spend on something else.
