Muriel: I admire Favilla’s novels, but she does not deserve to be considered a great writer. The point is that, no matter how distinctive her style may be, her subject matter is simply not varied enough.
John: I think you are wrong to use that criterion. A great writer does not need any diversity in subject matter; however, a great writer must at least have the ability to explore a particular theme deeply.
Summary
Muriel believes that Favilla is not a great writer, because her subject matter isn’t varied enough.
John states that having varied subject matter is not required to be a great writer. Rather, a great writer must have the ability to explore a theme deeply.
Very Strongly Supported Conclusions
Favilla might be a great writer, even if her subject matter isn’t varied.
A
Even if the subject matter in Favilla’s writings is not particularly varied, she should not thereby be excluded from being considered a great writer.
Strongly supported, because John states that varied subject matter is not a requirement for being a great writer. So one can be a great writer even if one’s subject matter is not varied.
B
Even if Favilla cannot explore any particular theme deeply in her writings, she should not thereby be excluded from being considered a great writer.
This is anti-supported, because John states that ability to explore themes deeply is a requirement for being a great writer.
C
If Favilla has explored some particular theme exceptionally deeply in her writings, she deserves to be considered a great writer.
John doesn’t state what is sufficient to consider someone a great writer. He describes one necessary condition for being a great writer, but this doesn’t support a claim that someone deserves to be considered a great writer.
D
If the subject matter in Favilla’s writings were exceptionally varied, she would not deserve to be considered a great writer.
John does not state that having exceptionally varied subject matter prevents one from being a great writer.
E
If Favilla’s writings show no evidence of a distinctive style, she does not deserve to be considered a great writer.
John does not state that having a distinctive style is a requirement for being considered a great writer.
