Although this bottle is labeled vinegar, no fizzing occurred when some of the liquid in it was added to powder from this box labeled baking soda. But when an acidic liquid such as vinegar is added to baking soda the resulting mixture fizzes, so this bottle clearly has been mislabeled.
The flaw in the reasoning in the argument above is that this argument assumes that the fact of a labeling error is proof of an intention to deceive.

Successis only a local anesthetic. Those artists should realize that they can only succeed Thereand not Here, which in it self is ridiculous and absurd. This in itself is a kind of Failure. What's more, they thought of coming back with laurel crowns, which is a kind of stale emotion, which shows that they are not free at heart and they are still slaves of Here.
The statement 'It is not ridiculous for an artist to be successful in his field and not be well in other fields' is the most likely to weaken this view.

At present, the use of electronic products has become a major trend. Many children and adolescents are used to learning and entertaining on the Internet, and it is more difficult to prevent and control myopia. To protect the eye health of children and adolescents, we should change the concept of emphasizing treatment and neglecting prevention. To achieve early detection and early intervention, we should adhere to the prevention and control strategy of coordinated medical treatment and prevention, and carry out visual health services covering the whole life cycle. Myopia of children and adolescents is a public health problem. We must start with health education, take public health services as the starting point, cultivate the independent health behavior of children, adolescents and parents, and actively promote popular science knowledge to prevent the visual health of myopia in children and adolescents.
The option for protecting the eye health of children and adolescents that is not covered in the article is 'Limit the online learning time of students on campus.'

Researchers have found that when very overweight people, who tend to have relatively low metabolic rates, lose weight primarily through dieting, their metabolisms generally remain unchanged. They will thus burn significantly fewer calories at the new weight than do people whose weight is normally at that level. Such newly thin persons will, ttherefore, ultimately regain weight until their body size again matches their metabolic rate.
The conclusion of the argument above depends on the assumption that the metabolisms of people who are usually not overweight are much more able to vary than the metabolisms of people who have been very overweight.

Shy adolescents often devote themselves totally to a hobby to help distract them from the loneliness brought on by their shyness. Sometimes they are able to become friends with others who share their hobby. But if they lose interest in that hobby, their loneliness may be exacerbated. So developing an all-consuming hobby is not a successful strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness.
The assumption 'No successful strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness ever intensifies that loneliness' depends on the argument.

Spectroscopic analysis has revealed the existence of frozen nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide on the surface of Pluto. Such ices have a tendency to vaporize, producing an atmosphere. Since the proportion of any gas in such an atmosphere depends directly on how readily the corresponding ice vaporizes, astronomers have concluded that the components of Pluto' s atmosphere are nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane, in order of decreasing abundance.
The assumption that there is no frozen substance on the surface of Pluto that vaporizes more readily than methane but less readily than carbon monoxide is relied on by the astronomers' argument.

Statistics of cases heard by a court in city B show that about 80% of the cases in which migrant workers claim wages are due to migrant workers' lack of relevant evidence. Although labor contracts, wage cards, wage slips, bank transfer records, attendance sheets, work permits and other materials can be used as evidence that migrant workers are owed wages, but many migrant workers work with contractors only pay in cash, but there is no evidence.

The principle 'interpretations of an artwork are appropriate if they originated during the period when the work was created' most helps to justify the art historians' reasoning.

When people evade income taxes by not declaring taxable income, a vicious cycle results. Tax evasion forces lawmakers to raise income tax rates, which causes the tax burden on nonevading taxpayers to become heavier. This, in turn, encourages even more taxpayers to evade income taxes by hiding taxable income.
The statement 'When lawmakers establish income tax rates in order to generate a certain level of revenue, they do not allow adequately for revenue that will be lost through evasion' is true, and is necessary for the vicious cycle described above to result.

The suicide wave that followed the United States stock market crash of October 1929 is more legend than fact. Careful examination of the monthly figures on the causes of death in 1929 shows that the number of suicides in October and in November was comparatively low. In only three other months were the monthly figures lower. During the summer months, when the stock market was flourishing, the number of suicides was substantially higher.
The statement 'Because of seasonal differences, the number of suicides in October and November of 1929 would not be expected to be the same as those for other months' would best challenge the conclusion of the passage.

People have a kind of memory called immune memory. There are very few self-sacrificing cells in human blood, which live for a very short time, and their main function is to destroy as many enemies of the human body as possible. Lymphocytes react quickly to bacteria or simple toxic substances that invade the bloodstream to produce antibodies that stick to harmful substances and prevent them from entering other organs. The task of destroying the enemy falls on the phagocytes in the blood. These cells can easily distinguish foreign cells, remember them and retain memories. Once a person has measles or scarlet fever, he will gain immunity for life.
The main function of phagocytes in human blood is to remember the foreign cells that invade the body is true of the argument in this paragraph.

Recently, it was found that the mercury content in the feathers of seabird specimens preserved in the 1980s was only half of that of the current live birds of the same species. The accumulation of mercury in seabird feathers is caused by seabirds eating fish, which shows that the content of mercury in seafish is higher than that more than 100 years ago.
The hypothesis of the appeal argument is that after mercury from fish is absorbed by seabirds, the residual content in feathers will change with time.

A study found that a pair of right-handed couples are only about 9.5% likely to have left-handed children. If one of the parents is left-handed, the probability of the child being left-handed rises to 19.5%. If both parents are left-handed, the probability of the child being left-handed is 26%. Therefore, the researchers believe that the habit of using left and right hands is genetically affected.
If true, the statement that it is observed that once children form the habit of using their left or right hands, it is difficult to change them can weaken the above view.

Similar empirical knowledge of ancient Greece and ancient China produced similar theoretical insights, such as Aristotle's and Mohist Classics' understanding of leverage principle. However, the initial mechanics theory of ancient Greece soon developed into a synthesis of theoretical knowledge, while the mechanical tradition of Chinese Mohism was interrupted after the warring states period. Ancient Chinese science is not good at observing and recognizing the movement of objects and forming a systematic theory, which is an obvious weakness. In contrast, the Chinese have made more outstanding achievements in solving practical problems.
The characteristics of scientific development in Ancient China are intended to be explained in this paragraph.

Sea turtle hatchlings leaving their hatching grounds on Florida beaches reach ocean currents by swimming to the northeast, as defined by the north of the Earth' s magnetic field. Florida hatchlings placed in a large indoor tank also swim toward the northeast.

Residents at a retirement community always play card games for two hours, starting at 3: 00 p. m. every afternoon. Although it is clear that the residents take pleasure in this activity, they never continue their games for longer than two hours. Caregivers assume that since card games require great concentration and strain on the elderly residents' eyes, playing for more than two hours would give the residents headaches that would interfere with their ability to play bingo in the evenings.

Weibo registration is very simple, visitors as long as register an e-mail address, set a password to become Weibo users. Writing Weibo is not demanding: you only need to write a few words to vent your feelings. Therefore, as long as users can type on the computer or send text messages, they can publish their feelings in a short and quick form. In addition, Weibo's interface setting makes information browsing more convenient, and the content of one Weibo message is only equivalent to two or three mobile phone text messages, which doesn't take long.
