What is the pattern of reasoning found in the following passage: Suppose the world has a creator like a house does. Now, when houses are not perfect, we know who to blame: the carpenters and masons who created them. But the world is also not wholly perfect. Therefore, it would seem to follow that the Creator of the world is not perfect either. But you would consider this conclusion absurd. The only way to avoid the absurdity, however, is to reject the supposition that leads to it. Therefore, the world does not have a Creator in the way a house does. a) Hypothetical syllogism
b) Reductio ad absurdum
c) Modus Ponens

Recall that areas with high net primary productivity not only produce high levels of biomass rapidly, they also take up large amounts of co2 and give off large amounts of oxygen. what is the likely result of the increasing amounts of sediments and fertilizers in the major rivers emptying into oceans and affecting algal beds, reefs, swamps, and estuaries? a fisheries will improve as the extra nutrients feed shellfish and fish. b eutrophication, followed by hypoxia, is a likely result, ultimately leading to less co2 uptake and more oxygen released. c productivity in these areas will increase permanently, leading to more co2 uptake and more oxygen released. d eutrophication, followed by hypoxia, is a likely result, ultimately leading to more co2 uptake and more oxygen released. e eutrophication, followed by hypoxia, is a likely result, ultimately leading to less co2 uptake and less oxygen released.
