3. Many of us live one-eyed lives. We rely largely on
the eye of the mind to form our images of reality. It is a mechanical world
based on fact and reason. (_______). So today more and more of us are opening
the other eye, the eye of the heart, looking for realities to which the mind’s
eye is blind. This is a world warmed and transformed by the power of love, a
vision of community beyond the mind’s capacity to see. Either
eye alone is not enough. We need “wholesight”, a vision of the world in which
mind and heart unite.

reasoned.

4. People arguing for a position have been known to
cast the opposite in an unnecessarily feeble light. (______). People who
indulge in this fallacy may be fearful or ignorant of a strong counter
argument. Detecting this fallacy often depends on having already heard a better
refutation, or having information with which to construct one.

(a) Casting the opposite as weaker than it really is, is a very
effective strategy.

(b) This portrayal of a refutation as weaker than it really is, is a
sure way of proving your point.

(c) Casting the opposite as weaker than it really is, is not a very
effective strategy.

(d) This portrayal of refutation as weaker than it really is, is
unwarranted.

5. The question of what rights animals should enjoy is
a vexatious one, Hundreds of millions of animals are put to death for human use
each year. Contrarywise, it can be argued that slowing down scientific research
would retard discovery of antidotes to diseases such as cancer which kill
humans and animals alike. (_________). What if super intelligent beings from Alpha Centauri landed on earth and decided to use
us for their experiments, arguing that they could save far more of their and
our lives by so doing?

(a) It will benefit both in the long run

(c) But the progress of human civilization cannot be made contingent on
some hypothetical rights of animals.

(d) There is no question of equating human rights with those of
animals.

6. A deliberation is a form of discussion in which two
people begin on different sides of an issue. (_______) Then each decides, in
the light of the other argument whether to adopt the other position, to change
his or her position somewhat, or to maintain the same position. Both sides
realize that to modify one’s position is not to lose; the point is to get
closer to the truth of the matter.

(a) Each person argues his or her position most sincerely.
