Instructions 
Discuss the questions that must be answered in the argument to determine if the advice provided is reasonable. As part of

will need to identify the flow of logic in the passage and consider whether or not the movement from each step makes
sense. In order to do this, look for transition words that reveal the author’s attempts to make a logical connection.

not
being asked to examine whether the argument is true or false.

being asked to agree or disagree with the argument. 
• You are
