20. <22{1[1(01)]}> Since Jessica’s participation in local politics increased significantly after she joined her school’s political science club, it is clear that her involvement in that club led her to take an interest in politics.

The argument above is flawed because (Points : 1)
it doesn’t say which political issues Jessica is interested in
it states that the only purpose of the political science club is to spark an interest in politics
it misuses the word “significantly”
it’s possible that an interest in politics caused Jessica to join the political science club

leaning toward: it’s possible that an interest in politics caused Jessica to join the political science club

I agree.

The argument above is flawed because it assumes that Jessica's increased participation in local politics is solely a result of joining the school's political science club. However, there could be other reasons why Jessica developed an interest in politics. To identify the flaw in the argument, we need to carefully analyze the given options and choose the one that best highlights the flaw.

Let's go through each option:

1. "It doesn't say which political issues Jessica is interested in." This option does not directly address the flaw in the argument. While it might be relevant to know which specific political issues Jessica is interested in, it does not challenge the assumption that joining the political science club is the sole reason for her increased participation.

2. "It states that the only purpose of the political science club is to spark an interest in politics." This option also points out a flaw in the argument. The argument assumes that the sole purpose of joining the political science club is to develop an interest in politics. However, there could be other reasons for joining the club, such as networking, social interaction, or academic reasons. Therefore, this option captures the flaw in the argument.

3. "It misuses the word 'significantly'." This option does not address the flaw in the argument. While it might be relevant to analyze the usage of the word "significantly," it does not challenge the assumption that joining the political science club is the sole reason for Jessica's increased participation.

4. "It's possible that an interest in politics caused Jessica to join the political science club." This option does not directly highlight the flaw in the argument. While it presents an alternate explanation, it does not challenge the assumption that joining the political science club is the sole reason for Jessica's increased participation.

Based on the analysis, the option that best highlights the flaw in the argument is: "It states that the only purpose of the political science club is to spark an interest in politics."
