50. a. This argument assumes that the main concern of the Task Force is its own existence. The speakerassumes that the Task Force will present findings that would ensure that the Task Force is not dis-banded. The passage did not identify the speaker’s relationship to the leader of the Task Force(choiceb) or indicate that the speaker was not asked to join the Task Force (choice c). Neither of theseassumptions make a logical connection between the premise and conclusion of the argument. It ispossible that the speaker’s leadership ability will be questioned by the Task Force findings (choice d) orthat the Task Force wants to hire more police officers (choice e), but these two assumptions also do notlink the premise and conclusion.Sentence Correction
