            “Color photography has eliminated the need for realism in artistic painting, in the opinion of a number of art scholars and artists. At the same time, many members of the art community still feel that realistic artwork is still valuable and worthwhile.”

              • Agree, because color photography has eliminated the need for realistic art.
              • Disagree, as realism in art serves as an important expression of human creativity.
              • Agree, but only in some cases, color photography does not affect all artistic forms.
              • Disagree, as traditional forms of art hold inherent value independent of color photography.

              The following appeared in a health newsletter.
              "Nosinia is an herb that many users report to be as effective as prescription medications at fighting allergy symptoms. Researchers recently compared Nosinia to a placebo in 95 men and women with seasonal allergies to ragweed pollen. Participants in the study reported that neither Nosinia nor the placebo offered significant relief. However, for the most severe allergy symptoms, the researchers reported that Nosinia was more effective than the placebo in providing relief. Furthermore, at the end of the study, participants given Nosinia were more likely than participants given a placebo to report feeling healthier. We, therefore, recommend using Nosinia to help with your severe allergy symptoms."

                • How reliable is the study's sample size?
                • How does the severity of symptoms affect the results?
                • Was the placebo truly effective in reducing allergy symptoms?
                • Is there any independent evidence for Nosinia’s effectiveness?

                The following appeared in a memorandum from the manager of WWAC radio station.
                “To reverse a decline in listener numbers, our owners have decided that WWAC must change from its current rock-music format. The decline has occurred despite population growth in our listening area, but that growth has resulted mainly from people moving here after their retirement. We must make listeners of these new residents. We could try playing music tailored to their tastes, but a continuing decline in local sales of recorded music suggests limited interest in music. Instead, we should change to a news and talk format, a form of radio that is increasingly popular in our area.”
