NOT- What caused a reduction I Heart attacks? 7. Which rival explains why a and b occur together? Forward cause Rival – Those that received treatment did not have clogged arteries. The argument in the article is a correlation argument. There is a correlation between “A” the GIK treatment and “B” the reduction in heart attack deaths. The arguer believes there is a correlation because of a prior study. This study was originally conducted in 1960.
And had showed and overall reduction in heart attack death rate by half. This study was discarded however because of poorly conducted clinical tests. These tests led many doctors to doubt that it worked. The study conducted called GIK for glucose, insulin and potassium nourishes t 65 he heart muscle that are deprived of oxygen immediately following a heart attack. The causal mechanism are clogged arteries that reduce the flow of oxygen to the heart. The researches need to continue the study of the treatment along with the treatment for clogged arteries to consider this a strong argument.
Many of the findings are undermined by the fact that many of the patients that survived were receiving clot busting drugs combined with the GIK treatment. This is relevant data to support the conclusion. S 1 Patients who received the GIK treatment combined with clot busting drugs have a better chance of surviving a heart attack. S 2 The treatment provides energy to the heart muscle during and immediately after a heart attack. C 1 If doctors use the GIK treatment combined with clot busting drugs the heart attack death rate will decrease.
Article 31. What is A? the CHD 1 gene 2. What is B? Causes heart disease. 3. What is causal mechanism? Bad diet and lack of exercise 4. Is the Author saying one thing cause another? Yes 5.

This could be common cause because there are environmental factors that could be the cause of A and B. Rival – The gene caused the body to over produce cholesterol which collects in the arteries and cause blockage of blood flow to the heart. The argument for the article is a correlation argument.

There is a correlation between “A” the CHD 1 gene and “B” heart disease. The arguer believes there is a correlation because of the study of the 75 families who had a history of early heart disease. The causal mechanism is Bad diet and lack of exercise. Relevant data to support the conclusion would be causes of arterial blockage and how many of the children had high levels of cholesterol.
If the children had high levels of cholesterol in their blood this would be relevant data to support the conclusion. I believe this is a weak argument. S 1 10% of the families in the study were affected by the gene linked to heart disease. S 2 They used 75 families from the Mormon church who had kept strict records of early coronary heart disease and had a tendency toward obesity an d diabetes.
C 1 High cholesterol caused buy diet and eating habits caused heart disease in the Mormon family study. Article 41. What is A? Vitamin A compounds 2. What is B? The frogs deformities 3. What is the Causal Mechanism? The hormone Retinoic acid.
4. IQ: Why are frogs developing deformities? 5. NOT What caused the frogs deformities? Rival – Pesticides used by farmers leave trace amounts of the compound which seeps into the soil and contaminate the smaller lakes and ponds. The argument in the article is a correlation argument.
There is a correlation between “A” the Vitamin compounds and “B” the frogs deformities. The researches believe the compounds cause limb development deformities. Water samples taken of the lake in Minnesota that produced many of the deformed frogs is relevant data to support the conclusion. Many of the states that have deformed frogs are farming states which use a wide range of pesticides to protect their crops from parasites. This is a strong argument.

Article 6 A = Urban run off = caused the bacterial contamination off Huntington Beach IQ: Why are the levels of bacteria so high in the city pump stations and off Huntington Beach? NOT – What’s causing the bacterial contamination? Rival – Huntington Beach is near several businesses that dump chemicals into the gutters. The argument in the article is a correlation argument. There is a correlation between “A” urban run-off and “B” the contamination off Huntington Beach. The city officials believe the urban runoff is the cause of the high level of bacterial contamination. Crews dumped dozens of oranges and grapefruits from a boat in the Talbert Marsh and tracked their direction.
