Question

Q6: A study of six patients who all suffer from a rare form of cancer revealed that though they all live in different locations
in the county and have quite different medical histories, diet, and personal habits-two smoke cigarettes and three drink
alcoholic beverages-they are all employed at a company that manufactures herbicides and pesticides. From this study it
can be concluded that exposure to the chemicals produced by the company is the probable cause of the disease. The
method of reasoning used by this argument is:
(a) Isolating a common feature through a process of elimination and concluding that this feature is causally related to the
event under investigation.
(b) Reaching a general conclusion on the basis of the experiences of the six patients.
(c) Providing information that allows the application of a general claim to a specific case.
(d) Indirectly showing that exposure to the chemicals produced by the company is the likely cause by demonstrating that
none of the other alternatives is the cause.
