Psychiatrist: We are learning that neurochemical imbalances can cause behavior ranging from extreme mental illness to less serious but irritating behavior such as obsessive fantasizing, petulance, or embarrassment. These findings will promote compassion and tolerance when looking at a mental illness, quirk, or mere difference between two persons, since being mentally healthy can now begin to be seen as simply having the same neurochemical balances as most people.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the conclusion of the psychiatrist’s argument?

(A) Understanding the role of the neurochemical in behavior will foster empathy toward others.

(B) Neurochemical imbalances can cause mental illness and other behaviors.

(C) Neurochemical balances and imbalances are the main determinants of mental behavior.

(D) Being mentally healthy is a matter of having the same neurochemical balances as most people.

Helen: It was wrong of my brother Mark to tell our mother that the reason he had missed her birthday party the evening before was that he had been in a traffic accident and that by the time he was released from the hospital emergency room the party was long over. Saying something that is false can never be other than morally wrong, and there had been no such accident—Mark had simply forgotten all about the party.

The justification Helen offers for her judgment of Mark’s behavior is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the justification

(B) confuses having identified one cause of a given effect with having eliminated the possibility of there being any other causes of that effect

(C) judges behavior that is outside an individual’s control according to moral standards that can properly be applied only to behavior that is within such control

(D) relies on an illegitimate appeal to pity to obscure the fact that the conclusion does not logically follow from the premises advanced

(E) attempts to justify a judgment about a particular case by citing a general principle that stands in far greater need of support than does the particular judgment
