Question

Bring the Summer Olympics to Portland

Who doesn’t love the thrill of watching young athletes compete at the Olympics? My question is, why hasn’t anyone thought of bringing the Summer Olympics here to Portland, Oregon? We have all the elements needed, such as mild summer weather, plenty of hotel accommodations, and lots of top-quality sports venues. The mountainous scenery is unbeatable, too, and everyone knows, athletes perform better when they have inspiring surroundings. Plus, a Portland Olympic Games would be a tremendous boost to businesses, providing the jump-start we need for our local economy. Just about every major city on the West Coast has hosted an Olympics (except Seattle, but they had a World’s Fair). If they can do it, so can we! Let’s put our city’s name in for the next summer games.

Answer 1

C. An Olympic host city would need plenty of hotel space.

Option (C) is the error in logic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Olympic sports require mild weather most probably a relative climate that can accommodate people of diverse backgrounds. For instance, some countries have different temperatures. They feel uncomfortable when going to another country for Olympic sports. The environment may affect their performance. But relative weather will easily be accommodative to separate people from different parts globally. Also, sceneries also affects the Olympics sports person in general because a peaceful place gives them the peace of mind to play the games calmly. If a country is hosting Olympics, then the local government would benefit most from its local businesses and trade. It also helps you to boost your economy. An Olympic host city doesn't need to have plenty of hotel spaces. Even if the country doesn't have so many hotels to accomodate persons, the country's government can make a temporary residential areas for the visitors and the sports men.

Answer 2

D. Nice scenery improves athletic performance.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pleasant aesthetic does not improve the performance of athletes. Only a hard training and with strict rules makes the athletes better their sports performance, guaranteeing the victory for their team. This is the logic error in the text, because athletes are not tourists, so the aesthetics of the place where the Olympic games will be played have no influence.

However, the mild climate and hotels with high availability are favorable factors for an Olympic game to take place in Portland, in addition, local companies would benefit from the great movement of people in the city.
