Passage Summary: A doctor suggests that since removing bad tonsils helps kids sleep, we should just take everyone's tonsils out early to prevent any and all sleep breathing problems.

Conclusion: Removing children's tonsils before they swell will guarantee they never have sleep-related breathing issues.

Reasoning: Swollen tonsils cause breathing problems, and removing them fixes those problems once they exist.

Analysis: The pediatrician is making a massive assumption that swollen tonsils are the one and only cause of breathing problems during sleep. Even if you remove the tonsils, a child could still have breathing issues due to allergies, asthma, or even just a very fluffy pillow. The flaw here is treating a solution for one specific cause as a universal preventative for the entire symptom. Look for an answer choice that points out the failure to consider other potential causes for the breathing problems.
