Practice Exercise 8 A - continued
Faulty Thinking
- Members of the CRU union are lazy, unskilled, Neanderthals. I cannot
believe that such a bunch have the nerve to ask for a two percent raise
over five years. The bunch of losers do not deserve what they are paid
now. They do so little work that they should actually receive a pay
cut.
- Engineers study math in college and university. They also have to
pass professional exams demonstrating their math abilities. All engineers
must have at least a minimal level of ability in mathematics.
- After the hockey game, I discovered my wallet missing from the locker
room. Billy was in the change room before me after the game. He must
have taken it.
- Hugh‘s Botanical Guide to Deciduous Plants indicates that the
Latin genus name for Maple trees is “Acer”. Red Maples and
Sugar Maples must have Acer as their genus names.
- I ate oatmeal for breakfast on Tuesday. I wrote my history test on
Tuesday. I received a mark of ninety percent. Oatmeal must help me get
good grades on history tests.
- Four hundred and ninety people out of one thousand people said they
prefer Thicky Peanut butter to Chalky peanut butter. About fifty percent
of those surveyed prefer Chalky Peanut butter to Thicky peanut butter.
- Coffee has more caffeine than tea, so coffee keeps you more alert.
