Qaysi savolga javob argumentni hal qiladi?

Evaluate savolida sizdan argumentni zaiflashtirish ham, kuchaytirish ham soʻralmaydi. Soʻraladi: «Which of the following would it be most useful to know in order to evaluate the argument?» — yaʼni, qaysi maʼlumot argument toʻgʻri yoki notoʻgʻri ekanini koʻrsatib beradi?

Toʻgʻri javob har doim boʻshliq haqidagi savol. Uning bir javobi argumentni kuchaytiradi, ikkinchisi — zaiflashtiradi.

⏱ Evaluate — ~2 daqiqa

Usul: «ha / yoʻq» testi

1. Xulosa, dalil va boʻshliqni toping — oddiy CR savoli kabi.

2. Har bir variantni savolga aylantiring: «Whether…» → «…mi?»

3. Ikkala javobni sinang: «ha» boʻlsa argumentga nima boʻladi? «yoʻq» boʻlsa-chi?

4. Toʻgʻri variantda ikki javob argumentni qarama-qarshi tomonlarga suradi. Ikkala javobda ham argument oʻzgarmasa — variant befoyda.

Ishlangan namuna

To reduce litter in Central Park, the town council plans to double the number of rubbish bins there. Council members point out that the park's paths are often covered with wrappers and bottles.

Variant: «Whether most of the litter is dropped by people who are far from any existing bin». Ha — odamlar axlat qutisi uzoq boʻlgani uchun tashlaydi → koʻproq quti yordam beradi (kuchayadi). Yoʻq — ular quti yonida ham tashlaydi → qutilar soni muammo emas (zaiflashadi). Ikki tomonga suradi — toʻgʻri javob.

Variant: «How much the new bins will cost». Qimmat yoki arzon — axlat kamayishiga taʼsir qilmaydi. Befoyda.

💡 Maslahat: Evaluate variantlari koʻpincha «Whether…», «How many…», «What percentage…» bilan boshlanadi. Har birini qisqa savolga aylantirib, ikki javobni tez sinang.

Tuzoqlar

⚠️ Tuzoq: Bir tomonlama savol — javobi qanday boʻlmasin argument oʻzgarmaydi (xarajat, mashhurlik, boshqa shaharlar). «Some» savoli — «baʼzilari … mi?» deyarli har doim «ha», shuning uchun hech narsani hal qilmaydi.

📌 Eslatma: Evaluate — weaken va strengthenʼning birlashmasi. Agar variantning «yoʻq» javobi argumentni zaiflashtirsa va «ha» javobi kuchaytirsa, siz toʻgʻri yoʻldasiz.
