PrepTest 75, Section 3, Question 7

The reasoning in the employee's argument is flawed because the argument
takes for granted that the boss's assessments of employee presentations are generally not accurate
fails to distinguish between more of something and too much of it
fails to consider that an audience's attention might wander for reasons other than being presented with too much detail
infers a generalization based only on a single case
confuses two distinct meanings of the key term "detail"
