PrepTest 55, Section 3, Question 2
Board member: The J Foundation, a philanthropic organization, gave you this grant on the condition that your resulting work not contain any material detrimental to the J Foundation's reputation. But your resulting work never mentions any of the laudable achievements of our foundation. Hence your work fails to meet the conditions under which the grant was made.

The reasoning in the board member's argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the argument
takes for granted that a work that never mentions any laudable achievements cannot be of high intellectual value
confuses a condition necessary for the receipt of a grant with a condition sufficient for the receipt of a grant
presumes, without providing justification, that a work that does not mention a foundation's laudable achievements is harmful to that foundation's reputation
fails to consider that recipients of a grant usually strive to meet a foundation's conditions
fails to consider the possibility that the work that was produced with the aid of the grant may have met all conditions other than avoiding detriment to the J Foundation's reputation
