in any way that you think will effectively

communicate your evaluation of the argument. Yourresponse may, but need not, incorporate particular

writing strategies learned in English composition or

writing-intensive college courses. GRE readers will

not be looking for a particular developmental

strategy ormode of writing.

organization that you think support and enhance the

overall effectiveness of your evaluation. This meansusing as many oras few paragraphs as you

consider appropriate for your responsefor

example, creating a new paragraph when your

help illustrate an important point in your evaluation

or move your discussion forward. (Remember,however, that, in terms of your ability to perform the

Analyze an Argument task effectively, it is your

critical thinking and analytical writing, not your

6While it may be true that the Mason City

government ought to devote more money to riverside

recreational facilities, this authors argument does not make

a cogent case for increased resources based on river use. It

is easy to understand why city residents would want a

cleaner river, but this argument is rife with holes and

assumptions, and thus, not strong enough to lead to

increased funding.672

6The decision to restore the time devoted to

weather and local news to its former level is one that should

be made with more careful consideration of evidence, data,

and viewer/client feedback by the business manager of this

television station. Many assumptions have been made on the

business managers part about the exact cause of the

problems with the program. He or she should approach the

idea of making changes with more caution.733

A clean, beautiful, safe river often adds to a citys property

values, leads to increased tourism and revenue from those

who come to take advantage of the river, and a better overall

quality of life for residents. For these reasons, city

government may decide to invest in improving riverside

recreational facilities. However, this authors argument is not

likely significantly persuade the city government to allocate

increased funding.673

37/42

Examining all the various angles and factors involved with

improving riverside recreational facilities, the argument does

not justify increasing the budget. While the proposal does

highlight a possibility, more information is required to warrant

any action.
