Topic:In an attempt to improve highway safety, Prunty County last year lowered its speed limit from 55 to 45 miles per hour on all county highways. But this effort has failed: the number of accidents has not decreased, and, based on reports by the highway patrol, many drivers are exceeding the speed limit. Prunty County should instead undertake the same kind of road improvement project that Butler County completed five years ago: increasing lane widths, resurfacing rough highways, and improving visibility at dangerous intersections. Today, major Butler County roads still have a 55 mph speed limit, yet there were 25 percent fewer reported accidents in Butler County this past year than there were five years ago. Question:Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument. My Response: The following argument is flawed for numerous reasons. There were many unwarranted assumptions made in argument. The below are the few main reasons for which the argument is found flawed. Main reason for the argument to be found flawed is assuming no improvement in highway safety by considering the number of accidents. Because the population of Prunty County might have grown very larger in mean time. Instead the ratio of number of accidents to the current population should be considered while making such comparisons. Another major reason find the argument flawed is assuming that the improvement project taken up Butler County would work for Prunty County. Because there could be numerous reasons behind improvement project being success in Butler County which might not be there in Prunty County like the people's behaviour and attitude in Butler County could different from that of people in Prunty County. Further changes like increasing lane widths, resurfacing rough roads and improving visibility might not be the only reasons behind the decrease of accident rates. There could be some other reasons like cops rules, and fine amounts might be different, Due to which people might get scared to cross speed limits. And that could be the reason for decrease of accident rates. Finally It was mentioned that there was 25 percent fewer reported accidents in Butler Count than there were five years ago. But the comparison made in Prunty County was within one year. So there is lot of difference in periods in which comparison is made. These are all the evidences required to weaken the reasons which show argument flawed. And also to strengthen the assumptions made in argument.

Claim: In any field—business, politics, education, government—those in power should step down after five years. Reason: The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalisation through new leadership. Question: Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based. My Response: I totally agree with the claim that in any field- leader in power should step down after five years. And also feel the reason behind it is flawless. Definitely revitalisation is the best path for success in any field which only comes through new leaderships. For suppose if we have consider business field, The trends and requirements of the society changes with time, In 90's desktops were trend then comes laptops and now its smartphones. So to withstand with these change in trends, business organisations definitely need change in leaders. That is why big companies change their leaders periodically. They choose the new leader who can challenge the competitors with upcoming trends.So with change in leader there comes noticeable difference in companies standard. To state another reason, think about GRE preparation, People often suggest us to book the slot before starting preparation that is because, People generally take things seriously only when they are under time restrictions or stress. Similarly a political leader does his work with mush seriousness only when he kept under time restrictions. He will start his work from the day one hoping he could achieve all his aims and dreams within the allotted tenure. One other advantage of changing leadership is, If the leader in an evasive minded, we can preclude his corruptible decisions or rules at least after five years. So that people choose good leader for the next tenure. So it is a good rule that in any field- leader in power should step down after five years, so that the organisation will be in success path.
