Read and evaluate the effectiveness of each analogy to support its conclusion. In trying to select the best alternative (A-E), apply the strategies for evaluating analogies presented in the course. 1. Analogy: The sport of tennis is like the sport of volleyball–both are played on a court divided by a net, and in each sport, players hit a ball over the net. As a result, any athlete who has skill in one of these sports can automatically achieve the same level of success in the other sport. Which of the following statements best evaluates the analogy?
1) The analogy is false because some volleyball courts are sand, and some wood, refuting the idea that the courts in both sports are similar.
2) The analogy works because some athletes have in fact succeeded in both tennis and volleyball.
3) The analogy works because the key skill in both sports is getting the ball over the net and into the opponent's court.
4) The analogy fails to make any claim as a result of the comparison offered.
5) The analogy is false because differences in skills and strategies in each sport are more relevant to success in either.
