Two centuries ago, Tufe Peninsula became separated from the mainland, isolating on the newly formed Tufe Island a population of Turfil sunflowers. This population' s descendants grow to be, on average, 40 centimeters shorter than Turfil sunflowers found on the mainland. Tufe Island is significantly drier than Tufe Peninsula was. So the current average height of Tufe' s Turfil sunflowers is undoubtedly at least partially attributable to changes in Tufe' s environmental conditions.
The mainland's environment has not changed in ways that have resulted in Turfil sunflowers on the mainland growing to be 40 centimeters taller than they did two centuries ago is an assumption on which the argument depends.

Close to his undergraduate graduation, Li Ming has achieved excellent results in all his courses. According to the regulations of the University, if his course scores are excellent in the last semester, he can be exempted from the examination to study as a graduate student. Li Ming failed to get an excellent grade in one subject in the last semester, so he can't be exempted from the examination to study as a graduate student.
The above argument has loopholes because it has a mature understanding of the provisions stated in the title stem as: only if the course scores of all semesters are excellent, can they be exempted from the examination to study as graduate students is the most appropriate evaluation of the above argument.

In order to eliminate pests in farmland, human beings have invented more than 30,000 kinds of pesticides. Although they have temporarily controlled the pests, they have also eliminated the natural enemies of insects and bees, making it impossible for some vegetables, melons and fruits to be pollinated. Weeds compete with crops for nutrition, water and space, so someone invented herbicides, which temporarily control weeds, but also promote the evolution of weeds, making them more difficult to deal with. To make matters worse, herbicides also eliminated beneficial microorganisms in the soil, harming some nitrogen-fixing bacteria that had the ability to fix nitrogen, and even denitrifying bacteria that reduced excess nitrogen to nitrogen in the atmosphere. Without the care of weeds, farmland becomes plank, and the rainy season is very easy to cause soil erosion.

The reforms to improve the quality of public education that have been initiated on the part of suppliers of public education have been insufficient. Ttherefore, reforms must be demanded by consumers. Parents should be given government vouchers with which to pay for their children' s education and should be allowed to choose the schools at which the vouchers will be spent. To attract students, academically underachieving schools will be forced to improve their academic offerings.

That Shakespeare' s The Winter s Tale ( 1610-1611) is modeled after Euripides' Alcestis (fifth century B. C. ) seems undeniable. However, it is generally accepted that Shakespeare knew little or no Greek, so Euripides' original play would be an unlikely source. Thus, it seems most likely that Shakespeare came to know Euripides' play through a Latin translation.
The only English language version of Alcestis available in Shakespeare's time differed drastically from the original in ways The Winter s Tale does not LEAST strengthens the argument.

The average life expectancy of the population is an important indicator reflecting the health level of the people in a country and region. The sixth national census shows that the average life expectancy of the Chinese population reached 74.83 years in 2010, while the average life expectancy of the population in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China was only about 35 years. Therefore, the elderly people that people thought more than sixty years ago now seem to be just middle-aged people.

The new fuel-efficiency standards should ttherefore be opposed. Leggett: But whenever any two cars collide, it is more likely that someone will be seriously injured if one of the cars is a full-size car than if neither car is full-size.

But the average amount of time spent washing clothes also increased for rural households with no access to professional laundries.

The Renaissance is generally regarded as an ideological and artistic movement that originated in Italy in the 14th century and then spread throughout Europe. Colonialism is often associated with the historical development of Europe since the end of the 15th century, such as the opening of new routes, the discovery of new continents and the political enslavement, economic exploitation and military occupation of Asia, Africa and Latin America. In the past, the studies of the two are far apart, but recently some scholars have keenly grasped that there is a covert superposition relationship between the two.
The most likely topic to be described in this passage next is how the Renaissance paved the way for colonialism.

Pro-Tect Insurance Company has recently been paying out more on car-theft claims than it expected. Cars with special antitheft devices or alarm systems are much less likely to be stolen than are other cars. Consequently Pro-Tect, as part of an effort to reduce its annual payouts, will offer a discount to holders of car-theft policies if their cars have antitheft devices or alarm systems.
In one or two years, the discount that Pro-Tect is offering will amount to more than the cost of buying certain highly effective antitheft devices provides the strongest indication that the plan is likely to achieve its goal.

At present, the setting of urban management institutions in various cities is different, which are generally divided into four types: Urban Construction Supervision Brigade, Urban Management Bureau, urban management administrative law enforcement bureau and Urban Management Committee. Because the urban management work is actually carried out independently and there is no special national law to guide it, local governments have formulated some local regulations according to their legislative authority, but there are great differences and it is difficult to systematize, As a result, some urban management violence and law enforcement incidents have occurred throughout the country in recent years, affecting social stability
The statement 'It is necessary to formulate national urban management regulations' is intended to illustrate that.

In the market, there are two brands of batteries of the same model. The price of the battery of brand A is 10% lower than that of brand B, and the former sells better than the latter. But the testing shows that the service life of the battery of brand B is 15% longer than that of brand A, but brand A sells better. The reason is that consumers do not know the difference in service life between the two batteries. In this way, in a competitive market, inefficient products that should have been produced less are produced more. This shows that incomplete information can lead to market failure.

Unlike consumer goods, which are priced on a cost basis, luxury brands typically set retail prices in three different regions, Europe, the United States and Asia according to different market expectations. In Europe, where France and Italy are the main places of origin, luxury prices are often the lowest. When European brands enter the U.S. market, they typically raise prices only slightly, as the consumer psychology for luxury goods has matured there. Luxury brands are the most expensive in Asia.

The current theory about earthquakes holds that they are caused by adjoining plates of rock sliding past each other; the plates are pressed together until powerful forces overcome the resistance. As plausible as this may sound, at least one thing remains mysterious on this theory. The overcoming of such resistance should create enormous amounts of heat. But so far no increases in temperature unrelated to weather have been detected following earthquakes.
The main point of the argument is that the current theory does not fully explain earthquake data.

Economist: Tropicorp, which constantly seeks profitable investment opportunities, has been buying and clearing sections of tropical forest for cattle ranching, although pastures newly created there become useless for grazing after just a few years. The company has not gone into rubber tapping, even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which leaves the forest intact. Thus, some environmentalists argue that <b> Tropicorp's actions do not serve even its own economic interest. </b> However, the initial investment required for a successful rubber-tapping operation is larger than that needed for a cattle ranch; there is a shortage of workers employable in rubber-tapping operations; and taxes are higher on profits from rubber tapping than on profits from cattle ranching. Consequently, <b> the environmentalists' conclusion is probably wrong. </b>

Kim: Some people claim that the battery-powered electric car represents a potential solution to the problem of air pollution. But they forget that it takes electricity to recharge batteries and that most of our electricity is generated by burning polluting fossil fuels. Increasing the number of electric cars on the road would require building more generating facilities since current facilities are operating at maximum capacity. So even if all of the gasoline-powered cars on the roads today were replaced by electric cars, it would at best be an exchange of one source of fossil-fuel pollution for another.
The main point made in Kim's argument is that replacing gasoline-powered cars with battery-powered electric cars will require building more generating facilities.

People have been arguing about which cat or dog is smarter. Recently, some scientists have not only studied the size of the animal's brain capacity, but also the number of neurons in the cerebral cortex, and found that cats usually seem to have an intelligence-dominant attitude, but the number of neurons in the cerebral cortex of cats is only ordinary golden hair. Half of the dog. From this, they all came to the conclusion: dogs are smarter than cats.
The number of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex of an animal is positively correlated with the intelligence of the animal is most likely to be the hypothesis that the aforementioned scientists concluded.

Naturalist: The recent claims that the Tasmanian tiger is not extinct are false. The Tasmanian tiger' s natural habitat was taken over by sheep farming decades ago, resulting in the animal' s systematic elimination from the area. Since then naturalists working in the region have discovered no hard evidence of its survival, such as carcasses or tracks. In spite of alleged sightings of the animal, the Tasmanian tiger no longer exists.
Every naturalist working in the Tasmanian tiger's natural habitat has looked systematically for evidence of the tiger's survival is an assumption on which the naturalist's argument depends.

Due to gene mutation, cells proliferate and differentiate uncontrollably, and eventually develop into malignant tumors. There are many abnormal proteins encoded by mutant genes on the surface of cancer cells. It is reasonable to say that these abnormal proteins should be recognized by the body's immune system in time, and trigger an immune response to remove cancer cells at one stroke. However, due to the rapid development of tumor cells, they are very good at camouflage, Moreover, it is constantly mutated. In the face of fierce and resourceful tumor cells, the originally powerful immune cells seem to be unable and even turn a blind eye to some tumor cells. The immunosuppression formed in the tumor microenvironment makes the immune system paralyzed.
The study that involves sequencing the DNA of tumor cells and healthy cells of each patient to identify tumor specific mutations and identify related abnormal proteins may contribute to the development of effective antitumor drugs according to the above information.

Reconstructing ships so that they have a double hull can protect them from serious damage in the roughly 20 percent of shipping accidents that unavoidably result from severe weather conditions. Avoidable human error, however, causes about 80 percent of shipping accidents. It would ttherefore be far more cost-effective to reduce damage to ships by retraining sailors than by reconstructing ships.
The statement 'Damage from accidents can be reduced more cost-effectively by reducing the likelihood of accidents than by mitigating their effects' most strengthens the argument.

The Testament of William Thorpe was published around 1530 as an appendix to Thorpe's longer Examination. Many scholars, however, doubt the attribution of the Testament to Thorpe because, whereas the Examination is dated 1406, the Testament is dated 1460. One scholar has recently argued that the 1460 date be amended to 1409, based on the observation that when these numbers are expressed as Roman numerals, MCCCCLX and MCCCCIX, it becomes easy to see how the dates might have become confused through scribal error.
Few writers in fifteenth-century England marked dates in their works using only Roman numerals would most support the scholar's hypothesis concerning the date of the Testament.
