Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.

  1.The following appeared in a letter from the manager of a rock band named Double Rice.

  "One year ago, tickets for Double Rice's concerts in stadiums around the country took, on average, at least 24 hours to sell out, if they sold out at all. But the band has been enjoying a surge in nationwide popularity among 14 to 25 year olds, and the 30,000 tickets for a recent concert in Megalopolis1 sold out in 12 minutes. Clearly the ticket sales in Megalopolis are a result both of the band's increased popularity and of the advertising2 campaign run in Megalopolis by the Ad Lib advertising agency. Thus, in order to ensure that the band's success in Megalopolis is repeated across the country, the band should hire Ad Lib to duplicate the Megalopolis ad campaign on a nationwide scale."
 
  2.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Balmer Island Gazette.

  "The population of Balmer Island increases to 100,000 duing the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians3, the town council of Balmer Island., should limit the number of mopeds rented by each of the island's six moped and bicycle rental4 companies from 50 per day to 30 per day during the summer season. By limiting the number of rentals5, the town council is sure to attain6 the 50 percent reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year in the neighboring island of Torseau, when Torseau's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals."
 
  3.The following appeared in a memo7 from the new vice8 president of Sartorian, a company that manufactures men's clothing.

  "Five years ago, at a time when we had difficulties in obtaining reliable supplies of high-quality wool fabric9, we discontinued production of our deluxe10 alpaca overcoats. Now that we have a new fabric supplier, we should resume production. This coat should sell very well: since we have not offered an alpaca overcoat for five years and since our major competitor no longer makes an alpaca overcoat, there will be pent-up customer demand. Also, since the price of most types of clothing has risen in each of the past five years, customers should be willing to pay significantly higher prices for alpaca overcoats than they did five years ago, and our company profits will increase."
 
  4.The following appeared in a memo from the president of a company that builds and sells new homes in Steel City.

  "Over the past five years, the population of Steel City has increased by more than 20 percent, and family incomes in Steel City have risen much faster than the national average. Nationwide, sales of houses priced above $150,000 have increased more than have sales of lower-priced houses. Such data indicate that we should make changes in our business to increase company profits. First, we should build fewer low-priced houses than we did last year and focus instead on building houses designed to sell at above $150,000. Second, we should hire additional workers so that we can build a larger total number of houses than we did last year."
