Summary
The content delves into the analysis of a flaw question, focusing on identifying the logical misstep in an argument regarding Roberta's mood based on her actions and conditions.
- A flaw question requires understanding the argument's conclusion and evidence, aiming to identify what makes the argument flawed.
- The argument concludes Roberta is irritable based on evidence that is insufficient to prove irritability, only tiredness.

- The correct answer (E) identifies the argument's error in assuming tiredness as a sufficient condition to prove irritability.
