Q1 - James: In my own house, I do what I want.

[uhdang]

This is a Method of Reasoning question.

Here is the core:

(James) I do what I want in my house
==>
Similarly, regarding banning smoking on passenger airlines, the government has ignored the airlines’ right to set smoking policies on their own.

(Eileen) Your house is for your own use. + A passenger airline offers a service to the public
==>
passengers’ health must come first.

@ Eileen point out what James is assuming (airline can do what they want with regarding their own company’s smoking policy because they own it just as I do what I want in my house) and states that his assumption is wrong.

A) Distinction it is. Eileen states that analogy James provides is different from the case of banning smoking policies for airlines. House is for your own use, whereas airline is for public use. Correct.

B) No definition provided anywhere.

C) Although analogy is provided, Eileen is commenting on the analogy that James has provided. She did not ESTABLISH the analogy.

D) No contradiction presents, only difference, or distinction, presents.

E) Out of scope. Motivation is not an issue nor did come up as an issue.
