Prompt:
Pirouettes Ballet School is the clear choice for any child. Of all the dance schools in Elmtown, Pirouettes has the most intensive program, and our teachers have danced in the most prestigious ballet companies all over the world. Many of our students have gone on to become professional dancers with top dance companies.

Response:
Pirouettes Ballet School claims that they are the choice of the children who want to pursue ballet dancing. They based their argument on the premises that their program is intensive and the previous students have gone to perform for many top dance companies. The argument is flawed because the school refrains itself from answering the following questions:

To begin with, it does not answer the question if the program gives individual attention to the students. The author talks about the program being intensive, but what if it is not at the same pace of some students, then these students would fail to cope up with the curriculum, which most certainly flaws the argument. In order to support the argument, the author must have mentioned how intensive the program is and if the program is in accord with the average or below average students.

In adittion to this, the author assumes that if the previous students of the school have performed at many dance companies, the prospective students will achieve the same success. He fails to provide proper metrics of the teachers and students who performed at the companies. What if the students were choosen by the dance companies first and then sent for practice at the school? this clearly undermines the claim, that the school contributed towards the success of these students. To justify the statement the school must have provided the metrics of the students choosen to perform at dance companies after admission to the ballet school.

To conclude, the author's argument is flawed because he refrains to answer the questions such as, how the intensive program helps the average or below avergae students? how many students were selected to perform at dance companies before and after taking admission to the school? In order to solidify the conclusion the authour should have answered these questions.
