“A recent review of the West Cambria volunteer ambulance service revealed a longer average response time to accidents than was reported by a commercial ambulance squad located in East Cambria. In order to provide better patient care for accident victims and to raise revenue for our town by collecting service fees for ambulance use， we should disband our volunteer service and hire a commercial ambulance service.”

In this argument the author concludes that West Cambria can increase revenues and provide better care to accident victims by disbanding the volunteer ambulance service and hiring a commercial one. The author reasons that this change would yield additional revenues because service fees could be imposed for ambulance use. The author also reasons that the city would provide better service to accident victims because a commercial service would respond more quickly to accidents than a volunteer service would. The author’s argument is flawed in two respects.
To begin with， the author’s plan for raising revenue for West Cambria is questionable. Unless the service fees are considerable or the accident rate is extremely high， it is unlikely that significant revenues will be raised by charging a fee for ambulance use. Consequently， revenue generation is not a good reason to disband the volunteer service and hire a commercial service.
Next， the author’s belief that better patient care would be provided by a commercial ambulance service than by a volunteer service is based on insufficient evidence. The fact that the commercial service in East Cambria has a lower average response time than the volunteer service in West Cambria is insufficient evidence for the claim that this will be the case for all commercial services. Moreover， the author’s recommendation depends upon the assumption that response time to an accident is the only factor that influences patient care. Other pertinent factors—such as ambulance-crew proficiency and training， and emergency equipment—are not considered.
In conclusion， this argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to show that substantial revenue for the town could be raised by charging service fees for ambulance use. Additionally， the author would have to provide more evidence to support the claim that commercial ambulance services provide better patient care than volunteer services.

“Local clothing stores reported that their profits decreased， on average， for the three-month period between August 1 and October 31. Stores that sell products for the home reported that， on average， their profits increased during this same period. Clearly， consumers are choosing to buy products for their homes instead of clothing. To take advantage of this trend， we should reduce the size of our clothing departments and enlarge our home furnishings and household products departments.”
