Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by steps in an argument For

00:09

example after you argue with your ex's new fling it's

00:12

probably best to take steps back especially he's Bigger than

00:16

alright Check out the following passage night nixon congress osha

00:20

osha osha lucia lucia child be like a song Sounds

00:26

like that like one of the british new age band

00:30

We're like some from planet of the apes Finch All

00:35

right fear of liberty Dis exports this man working man

00:39

by the law office Three billion Okay you done reading

00:41

it now Identify which of the following claims does not

00:44

serve as one of the steps in the writer's argument

00:48

and your options are right here You don't good all

00:54

righty Well so here we have to look through the

00:57

text and figure out which step was not included like

01:00

that accidental extra step which somehow turned our kia desk

01:04

into an abstract sculpture It's not a pretty sight we've

01:07

been there so let's give this passage look see to

01:09

find which arguments don't fit Looking at paragraph three this

01:13

one right here the author clearly argues that laws have

01:16

made workplaces safer and given that this is an article

01:20

in support of osha this is probably a good thing

01:24

We don't need laws that make the workplace let's say

01:28

and if we mosey ahead to paragraph eight waken see

01:32

the author explicitly states sir be osha has reduced deaths

01:37

and injuries so b is also a step in the

01:40

author's expanding argument and in paragraph ten which we want

01:43

to right here to the author clearly states that injuries

01:47

air still common in the workplace But the author never

01:50

argues that employers must be held financially responsible for the

01:54

emotional and psychological costs of employees injuries After all it'll

01:58

probably cost employers a fortune if they had to putting

02:00

up every time an employee felt The blues you know

02:02

that around here Smoke alarm but don't tell anyone All

02:05

right so this is the incorrect statement the awkward piece

02:08

that does not fit with the rest of the puzzle

02:11

That's Where peg in a round hole Thus answer D

02:13

is the correct answer Now if only all steps were

02:15

this clearly laid out seriously we still can't figure out

02:19

how to make a nike ad death It always ends 00:02:21.185 --> [endTime] up looking like some kind of a boat
