Question

All sages provide both wisdom and inspiration. Since Dashaâs speech contained wisdom and greatly inspired her audience, Dasha is a sage.

1. Which one of the following points out the flaw in the argument above?
a. Just because Dasha is a sage doesnât mean that she is always wise and inspirational.
b. Just because Dashaâs speech provided wisdom and inspiration doesnât mean that it provided more wisdom than inspiration.
c. Just because Dasha satisfied two requirements of being a sage doesnât necessarily mean that she satisfies all the requirements of being a sage.
d. Just because Dasha provided wisdom and inspiration in a speech doesnât mean that all sages use speeches to provide wisdom and inspiration.

Answer 1

c. Just because Dasha satisfied two requirements of being a sage doesnât necessarily mean that she satisfies all the requirements of being a sage.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be explained by perspective of Western Logic.

Let : Sages = S ; Wise & Inspiring = P

'All sages provide wisdom & inspiration' implies 'All S are P'

But 'All S are P' doesn't necessarily imply 'All P are S'

So : 'All saints are wise & inspiring people' doesn't necessarily imply 'All wise & inspiring people are saints'

Therefore : Dasha, being a wise & inspiring person doesn't garauntee that she is a saint. Hence, wisdom & inspiration satisfy only two requirements of being a sage doesn't necessarily mean that she satisfies all the requirements of being a sage.
