2 of 4 deductions are Reasoning
Reasoning checks for sound logic and solid support for any conclusion. A low score means the speaker made unsupported leaps or used weak arguments.
No reason given A conclusion stated with no reason given for it. What the tags mean → “Today, that promise is in ruins.” The statement asserts the promise is broken and gives only rising tariff costs, which bear no stated link to whether a deal was reached.
Logical leap A conclusion that does not follow from the reasons given for it. What the tags mean → “Norgate Metal in Beauce is already projecting $7 million in additional costs for its current contracts alone.” One company’s projected $7 million in costs is offered as proof of a general rise in operating costs across companies.
