PrepTest 63, Section 3, Question 2
Artist: Almost everyone in this country really wants to be an artist even though they may have to work other jobs to pay the rent. After all, just about everyone I know hopes to someday be able to make a living as a painter, musician, or poet even if they currently work as dishwashers or discount store clerks.

The reasoning in the artist's argument is flawed in that the argument
contains a premise that presupposes the truth of the conclusion
presumes that what is true of each person in a country is also true of the country's population as a whole
defends a view solely on the grounds that the view is widely held
bases its conclusion on a sample that is unlikely to accurately represent people in the country as a whole
fails to make a needed distinction between wanting to be an artist and making a living as an artist
