PrepTest 70, Section 3, Question 9
CEO: We have been falsely criticized for not being an environmentally responsible corporation. Environmentally responsible corporations are corporations that do all they can to pollute less. Our current production methods pollute significantly less than our old methods did, and there currently are no methods that do not produce any pollution.

The reasoning in the CEO's argument is flawed in that it
takes for granted that production methods that do not produce pollution cannot be developed
fails to take into account the possibility that different causes can have similar effects
generalizes too hastily from the inapplicability of a specific criticism to the inapplicability of a class of criticisms
takes for granted that because the company has attempted to reduce the amount of pollution produced, they must have succeeded
ignores the possibility that there are currently production methods that would allow the corporation to produce less pollution than it does now
