What s more, the premises on which the author bases his or her conclusions seem unreasonably qualified. For example, the average salary given for professional athletes doesn t seem like the appropriate measure to use in this situation. There are many professional sports, professional table tennis or volleyball, for example, where the salaries for even the top players don t approach 650,000. If you were to survey all professional athletes, you d probably find that the typical player doesn t come close to a six-figure salary. However, because players like Shaquille O Neal and Tiger Woods make millions of dollars, the average is higher than the typical salary. Therefore, this piece of evidence the author chooses seems loaded. [Pg.41]

In addition, sources are not provided for this salary statistic. Furthermore, the author does not cite sources for the 50,000 teacher s salary or that benchwarmers make more than teachers. (Besides, it is unlikely that table tennis team benchwarmers make larger salaries than teachers ) Because this evidence lacks sources, the author s credibility is weakened because the evidence cannot be verified as fact. If the figures can be verified, then the premises are reasonable however, for all the reader knows, the author simply made everything up. [Pg.41]

No matter how confident you are about your writing, it is essential to seriously prepare for the Analytical Writing section of the GRE. The Analytical Writing section of the exam is always the first part of the General Test. It is 75 minutes long and given in two parts, which may appear in any order. The two parts are as follows  [Pg.42]

Present Your Perspective on an Issue — 45 minutes. You must clearly and thoughtfully communicate how you feel about a given issue of general interest, taking any point of view you believe you can best support. You will choose only one of two writing prompts. [Pg.42]

Analyze an Argument—30 minutes. You must clearly and thoughtfully critique and analyze a given argument. Your job is only to offer your own analysis of the argument, not to offer your own opinions. For this portion of the test, you will not have a choice of prompts. [Pg.42]
