Question

Which choice is an example of an incorrect or illogical comparison? My sister has had more summer jobs than anyone in our family. Uncle Pete likes his new job more than his old job. Adults without a high school diploma might have a more difficult time finding an office job than other adults. Katie insists that an office job would be less interesting than an outdoor job.

Answer 1

I believe that the answer would be the final choice, "Katie insists than an office job would be less interesting than an outdoor job." She is generalizing all office jobs to be less interesting than all outside jobs, which certainly may not be the case. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

The correct answer should be Katie insists that an office job would be less interesting than an outdoor job.

That is because this is an opinion of hers as someone might find it more interesting to work in an office, therefore insisting that it is the general truth is wrong.
