题目:
The following appeared in a memo from the owner of Green Thumb Gardening Center, a small business serving a suburban town.
"There is evidence that consumers are becoming more and more interested in growing their own vegetables. A national survey(1) conducted last month indicated that many consumers(3) were dissatisfied with the quality of fresh vegetables available in supermarkets. And locally, the gardening magazine Great Gardens has sold out at the Village News stand(6) three months in a row(4,5). Thus, we at Green Thumb Gardening Center can increase our profits by greatly expanding the variety of vegetable seeds we stock for gardeners(2) this coming spring(7)."
(1)The argument depends on a dubious assumption that the national levels of satisfaction with store-bought groceries could reflects the level of a certain area.
(2)The argument falsely assumes that consumers who are dissatisfied with store-bought groceries are likely to grow their own vegetables instead.
(3)The arguer fails to provide any information about what fraction of consumers buy their vegetables from supermarkets.
(4)The arguer fails to convince us that the gardening magazine Great Gardens is indeed popular among residents.
(5)We do not know the content and circulation of the magazine, thus the fact that the magazine has sold out three months in a row does not necessarily indicate that people in this area are interested in planting vegetables themselves.
(6)The situation at one certain news stand does not prove that people in this area are interested in gardening.
(7)The arguer fails to consider the possible cost of the proposed action.
注:题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
