My thinking skill exam is on tomorrow, so I make some question for you all ^^ and I will relate it with environmental problems. <b onClick="alert(’My main purpose after all ^^’); return false">*</b>

<b>Some animals have done harms to Human, but this is the consequences of Human to exploit the nature for their own good. Yet, human have killed this animals by claiming that it is a self defence by doing so. This is wrong, because human have interfered the animals in the first place…</b>

Q: What is the main conclusion? And can you find any underlying assumption in this argument.

<b>It is well known that Human are wrong by building structures which are not natural in our planet. This is because there will be a great lost of natural animals and plants. But human had already builded things for centuries, and we cannot undo this circumstances, therefore we should continue the activities.</b>

Q: What is the flaw in this argument. (assume that the reasons are flawless)
A The author failed to provide statistical evidences for the lost of natural living things.
B The author assumes that this activities (building) cannot be stopped once it has started.
C The first sentence is contradicting with his main conclusion.
D The reasons are not sufficient to support its main conclusion.
E The author is insane.

<b>We accept the fact that human can eat some animals because we are omnivors. Human eat chickens, fish etc… But it is ridiculous that human should eat monkeys, monkeys are wild animals, compared to chickens which are raised… Beside, eating chicken is because we need the nutrient of the chickens, and there is no unwanted consequences by doing so (since chickens are raised). Eating monkeys will causes imbalance of nature. So we must not eat monkeys. (and other wild animals)</b>

Q: What is the principle underlying this passage.
A We must not eat wild animals because they are wild.
B We must only do something when the benefits outweighed the bad consequences.
C It is wrong to eat animals which are looked alike to human.
D We should only eat animals which provide nutrient to us.
E It is because we have already do this, therefore we must continue doing it.
