help with this answer-Bad Definitions
A "bicycle" is a twelve-speed, two-wheeled conveyance.
a. too broad b. too narrow
c. attempt to persuade d. too vague
e. use of negatives f. circular
I can up with too narrow, but something else goes with it.
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option and see if it applies to the given definition:
a. Too broad: This option implies that the definition is covering more than what a bicycle actually is. However, the given definition does not exceed the scope of a bicycle, so it does not fit.
b. Too narrow: This option implies that the definition is too specific and does not encompass all possible variations or types of bicycles. The given definition describes a specific type of bicycle (a twelve-speed) rather than all bicycles in general. Therefore, it is too narrow and fits this option.
c. Attempt to persuade: This option suggests that the definition is trying to convince or influence the reader, which is not evident in the given definition.
d. Too vague: This option suggests that the definition is unclear or lacking in detail. While the given definition may not provide an extensive description, it is still specific enough to identify a type of bicycle, so it does not fit this option.
e. Use of negatives: This option implies that negation or negative terms are used in the definition, leading to confusion or creating a negative impression. However, the given definition does not contain any negatives.
f. Circular: This option suggests that the definition seems to repeat or define the term using the term itself. The given definition does not fall into this category as it describes a bicycle without using the word "bicycle" within the definition.
After analyzing all the options, the correct answer is indeed "b. too narrow" because the definition only describes a specific type of bicycle (a twelve-speed) rather than all bicycles in general.
