Argument:
28 The following appeared in thesummary of a study on headaches suffered by the resident of Mentia.
“Salicylates are members of the samechemical family as aspirin, a medicine used to treat headaches. Although manyfoods are naturally rich in salicylates, for the past several decades,food-processing companies have also been adding salicylates to foods aspreservatives. This rise in the commercial use of salicylates has been found tocorrelate with a steady decline in the average number of headaches reported byparticipants in our twenty-year study. Recently, food-processing companies havefound that salicylates can also be used as flavor additives for foods. Withthis new use for salicylates, we can expect a continued steady decline in thenumber of headaches suffered by the average citizen of Mentia.”

Argument:
31 The following appeared in a letterto the editor of Parson City’s local newspaper.
“In our region of Trillura, themajority of money spent on the schools that most students attend-the city-runpublic schools-comes from taxes that each city government collects. Theregion’s cities differ, however, in the budgetary priority they give to publiceducation. For example, both as a proportion of its overall tax revenues and inabsolute terms, Parson City has recently spent almost twice as much per year asBlue City has for its public schools—even though both cities have about thesame number of residents. Clearly, Parson City residents place a higher valueon providing a good education in public schools than Blue City residents do.”
