Disposable diapers, while a convenience, are an environmental disaster. If people would use cloth diapers instead of those made of disposable paper, much less paper would be produced saving millions of trees each year. Therefore, people should go back to buying, washing and reusing cloth diapers and Earth's precious natural resources would not be consumed so rapidly.
This argument depends of which of the following assumptions?
Premise - disposable diapers disaster, instead use cloth diapers,disposable paper diapers -more trees cut.
Conclusion - use cloth diapers and earth 's natural resources (trees) would not be consumed so rapidly.
A restatement of premise.assumption should pose a new inf.
B we aren't concerned about current trend ; our main concern is saving natural resources by using cloth diapers
An assumption choice should pass negation test and support conclusion. This option is good for nothing.
C if we negate it, the conclusion is shattered.
What is the point in using cloth diapers if it consumes more natural resources than disposable paper diapers.
D this is a weaken answer choice.if this is true the conclusion is weakened.
E This can be a strengthen choice but not an assumption choice.Because our concern is saving natural resources and not saving money.
Let us negate this choice : cloth diapers cost more than disposable diapers.
Conclusion is people should go back to buying,washing and reusing cloth diapers and earth s natural resources would not be consumed so rapidly.
So this E option is not breaking the conclusion.we are reusing the cloth diapers .its a one time investment.
