The following appeared in a letter from a homeowner to a friend Of the two leading real estate firms in our town Adams Realty and Fitch Realty Adams Realty is clearly superior Adams has 40 real estate agents in contrast Fitch has 25 many of whom work only OVwKp
The paragraph above is a letter that compares two real estate firms in a town. the firms are named Adams Realty and Fitch Realty. It seems that the author of the paragraph seems to side with Adams reality due to his latest experience with them. It states that author was able to sell a house last year with the help of Adams Realty in a month. On the contrary, he exclaims that Fitch Realty are not up to the mark since they took up to four months to help the author sell a house. The author thus concludes that Adams Realty are a better bet than Fitch Realty. The above argument on an initial basis seems to provide categorical evidences to support the author claims. But on scrutiny, there are a few loopholes that if remain unanswered would cast a doubt on the conclusion that the author draws out of the above argument. Firstly, the author compares the employee strength of both the real estate firms by stating that Adams Realty have more employees than Fitch Realty. This helps the author draw the initial conclusion that Adams Realty is superior. The comparison of the employee strength does not pose an ideal factor to compare the superiority of a firm. It can also be possible that Fitch Realty work better at a lesser employee strength than Adams Realty. It can be highly possible that Fitch Realty run an efficient office where they do not need to resort to over-staffing and at the same time get the job done. Secondly, the author compares the revenue of both the firms stating that Adam Realty had a revenue, twice as high as that of Fitch Realty. This way the author implicitly puts forward his point that Adams Realty performed better financially last year which is why they should be picked over Fitch realty. The question that arises here is, why did the author compare the revenue of only the last year, why not the past five or ten years. Comparing an year's revenue, proves to be too short of a sample set to base a conclusion upon. Comparing the revenue of both the firms over an extended period could give up more compelling trends of the performance of both the firms. The last year could prove to be an anomaly and it could be the case that Fitch Realty perform well on an extended period as compared to Adams Realty in terms of revenue, Additionally, the author compares his experience with both Adams Realty and Fitch Realty and sides with Adams Realty by stating that Adams Realty helped the author sell his house quicker and at a higher price than Fitch Realty. The main distinguishing factor that brings down this comparison is the time period over which this comparison has been made. The house sold with the help of Fitch Realty was ten years ago while the one sold with the help of Adams Realty was a year ago. There might be a possibility that the housing sector was not doing well ten years ago, and this meant that Fitch Realty had trouble selling the house quickly. This comparison seems viable only if the performance of both the real estate firms occur in the same time period. The prompt provided above compares the performance of two real estate firms based on arguments that have voids in it. The evidences are not categorical and hence it weakens the conclusion that the author draws based on the evidences and arguments stated above.
The paragraph
above
is a letter that
compares
two
real
estate
firms
in a town.
the
firms
are named
Adams
Realty
and Fitch
Realty
. It
seems
that the
author
of the paragraph
seems
to side with Adams reality due to his latest experience with them. It states that
author
was able to sell a
house
last
year
with the
help
of Adams
Realty
in a month.
On the contrary
, he exclaims that Fitch
Realty
are not up to the mark since they took up to four months to
help
the
author
sell a
house
. The
author
thus
concludes that Adams
Realty
are a better bet than Fitch
Realty
. The
above
argument on an initial basis
seems
to provide categorical evidences to support the
author
claims.
But
on scrutiny, there are a few loopholes
that if remain
unanswered would cast a doubt on the
conclusion
that the
author
draws out of the
above
argument.

Firstly
, the
author
compares
the
employee
strength of both the
real
estate
firms
by stating that Adams
Realty
have more
employees
than Fitch
Realty
. This
helps
the
author
draw the initial
conclusion
that Adams
Realty
is superior. The
comparison
of the
employee
strength does not pose an ideal factor to
compare
the superiority of a
firm
. It can
also
be possible that Fitch
Realty
work better at a lesser
employee
strength than Adams
Realty
. It can be
highly
possible that Fitch
Realty
run an efficient office where they do not need to resort to over-staffing and at the same time
get
the job done.

Secondly
, the
author
compares
the
revenue
of both the
firms
stating that Adam
Realty
had a
revenue
, twice as high as that of Fitch
Realty
. This way the
author
implicitly
puts forward his point that Adams
Realty
performed better
financially
last
year
which is why they should
be picked
over Fitch
realty
. The question that arises here is, why did the
author
compare
the
revenue
of
only
the last
year
, why not the past five or ten years. Comparing
an
year's
revenue
, proves to be too short of a sample set to base a
conclusion
upon. Comparing the
revenue
of both the
firms
over an extended period could give up more compelling trends of the performance of both the
firms
. The last
year
could prove to be an anomaly and it could be the case that Fitch
Realty
perform well on an extended period as compared to Adams
Realty
in terms of revenue,

Additionally
, the
author
compares
his experience with both Adams
Realty
and Fitch
Realty
and sides with Adams
Realty
by stating that Adams
Realty
helped
the
author
sell his
house
quicker and at a higher price than Fitch
Realty
. The main distinguishing factor that brings down this
comparison
is the time period over which this
comparison
has
been made
. The
house
sold with the
help
of Fitch
Realty
was ten years ago while the one sold with the
help
of Adams
Realty
was a
year
ago. There might be a possibility that the housing sector was not doing well ten years ago, and this meant that Fitch
Realty
had trouble selling the
house
quickly
. This
comparison
seems
viable
only
if the performance of both the
real
estate
firms
occur in the same time period.

The prompt provided
above
compares
the performance of two
real
estate
firms
based on arguments that have voids in it. The evidences are not categorical and
hence
it weakens the
conclusion
that the
author
draws based on the evidences and arguments stated
above
.
