PrepTest 72, Section 3, Question 11
A group of citizens opposes developing a nearby abandoned railroad grade into a hiking trail. Its members argue that trail users will likely litter the area with food wrappers and other debris. But this objection is groundless. Most trail users will be dedicated hikers who have great concern for the environment. Consequently, development of the trail should proceed.

The argument above is flawed in that it
bases its conclusion mainly on a claim that an opposing argument is weak
illicitly infers that because each member of a set has a certain property that set itself has the property
illicitly assumes as one of its premises the contention it purports to show
illicitly infers that an attribute of a few users of the proposed trail will characterize a majority of users of the trail
attacks the citizens in the group rather than their objection to developing the trail
