Which statement is an example of a logical fallacy?

Students who exercise feel happier and more confident in their abilities.
Students who have more recess will have no behavior problems in the classroom.
Most teachers surveyed support the need for more recess time for their students.
Seventy-eight percent of students improved their test scores when they were given extra recess time.

Answer: Students who have more recess will have no behavior problems in the classroom.

Explanation:

The first statement can be proven true. It is fact without bias.

The second statement contains a fallacy. Recess CAN reduce negative behavior in class, but not cut it out completely. Therefore, this statement is a logical fallacy, specifically an overgeneralization.

The third statement involves opinions of others in masses, so it can be proven true.

The fourth statement is a survey, and it can be proven true.

story adapted from The Odyssey, BOOK IX
by Homer

The cave had looked like a promising place, awash with food and drink aplenty. It was empty, so Odysseus suggested that they wait for its owner to return, hoping for a hospitable inhabitant. The soldiers advised against this, but Odysseus insisted. Not long after, they discovered that their host was the quite inhospitable Cyclops, who proceeded to trap them in the cave by blocking the entrance with an enormous rock.

Many of Odysseus’s men had suggested ending the beast’s life, but that would leave them trapped in the cave. Even if they all worked together, they would not have the strength to remove the boulder from the cave’s opening.

For the past few days, Odysseus had observed the one-eyed monster. He had noticed that every morning, the Cyclops removed the rock from the cave’s opening to let out his flock of sheep before replacing it to keep Odysseus and his men confined inside.

"We will blind the monster. Then, we’ll use his own sheep to aid us in our escape,” Odysseus explained to his crew. “I have noticed that the males are fully grown and have thick black wool. We can tie three of them together. Then, we can hide a man under the belly of the middle animal. This way, he’ll be able to pass by the Cyclops unnoticed.”

Once the monster had fallen asleep, Odysseus blinded the Cyclops. The beast cried out in pain but then drifted back into slumber as the soldiers had shared their strong mead with him that night.

Odysseus and the men worked all night to make sure there were three sheep for each man. Once his crew was hidden, Odysseus leapt onto the remaining sheep—a ram that was finer than all the others. Then, he wiggled his way underneath the animal, concealing himself in the dark wool hanging below the ram’s belly.

As dawn approached, the men were fearful that the plan would not succeed, but they knew they must carry on if they hoped to escape the Cyclops’s lair. When the sun rose above the horizon, the Cyclops awoke and opened the cave entrance for his flock. Despite his pain, the Cyclops felt the back of each animal as it stood up and left the cave. He was not aware that the men were hidden beneath their bellies.

As the last sheep went out, the fine ram concealing Odysseus, the Cyclops grabbed hold of the animal.

“My good ram, why are you last today? You never let the others go ahead of you,” the Cyclops mused aloud. “You’re usually the one leading the rest—whether it is to go out and eat in the morning, or it is to come home at night.”

Odysseus held his breath; would they be discovered? But to his relief, the monster let the ram go out to the pasture with the other sheep. Finally, when they were far enough from the cave, Odysseus let go of the ram’s belly and helped his men to do the same. They drove the sheep to their awaiting ship, and once all men and animals were on board, the soldiers cried in relief at their narrow escape.

Odysseus signaled for them to hush. He realized that they were still in range of the Cyclops’s hearing. The men understood and quickly began to row the ship out to sea.

But Odysseus could not resist taunting the Cyclops from the deck of the ship. “Cyclops,” Odysseus shouted, “you did wrong by trapping us, and now the gods have punished you.”

The Cyclops grew furious. In his rage, he ripped off the top of a mountain and hurled it toward the sound of Odysseus’s voice. The piece of the earth plunged into the water just in front of the ship. This caused a wave that carried the ship back toward the Cyclops's land.

Odysseus picked up a long stick and quickly drove it into the sea to stop the motion of the ship. He nodded his head toward the men, indicating that they must row for their lives, which they did.

Odysseus was so angry he could not resist insulting the Cyclops further. “Monster,” he yelled, “if anyone asks you how you lost your sight, you can tell them that it was I, the valiant warrior Odysseus.”

The Cyclops grabbed a giant piece of land, even larger than the first, and threw it with all his might. This time, the wave it caused drove the ship toward the island, where the rest of the soldiers were anxiously awaiting Odysseus’s return.

In the story adapted from Book IX of The Odyssey, what does Odysseus's scheme involving the sheep reveal about him?


A: He is an expert fighter.

B: He is unnecessarily cruel.

C: He is a cunning strategist.

D: He is motivated by fear.

A Flag with 50 Stars

The first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student.

In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bob’s history teacher posed to the class.

The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bob’s design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change his grade to an A.

A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhower—but that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.

Question 1
Part A

What inference about the flag can be made based on a “A Flag with 50 Stars”?


Few people understand the significance of the number of stars and stripes on the flag.


The placement of stars on the flag has been a design challenge throughout history.


The decision to change the design of the flag has always cause controversy.


Its past history is more well known by Americans than its more modern history.

Question 2
Part B

Which evidence from the text best supports the answer in Part A?


“There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes.”

“Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag.”

“Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag.”

“The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly?”
