Hoping to receive sponsorship from a group of local business owners, Raul said this during a speech;

My bicycle is brand new, so I know I'll be able to bike fifty miles with no problem.

Which of the following is true of Raul's argument?

The first part of the argument supports the second part of the argument.

It is clear from his argument that Raul knows a great deal about bikes.

It is clear from his argument that Raul knows nothing about bikes,

The second part of the argument does not follow logically from the first part.

Answer 1

Answer: The second part of the argument does not follow logically from the first part.

Explanation: Raul says he will be able to bike fifty miles with no problem because his bike is new, but this doesn't support his statement since there are other factors that can influence. For example, even if the bike is new, if it is not well-made, then Raul can't bike fifty miles.

Answer 2

Answer: The second part of the argument does not follow logically from the first part.
