“A but B” Statements

Posted by: Nick Herbst | February 20, 2008 |

An “A but B” statement is a statement in which two parts are clearly defined. In the first part, statement “A,” the goal of a certain issue is described. Statement “A” is then separated from “B,” by a conflict term such as “but,” and them statement “B” describes an obstacle that prevents the goal from being reached. Below are a few examples pertaining to containing an outbreak of Avian Influenza.

  • The best way to stop the spread of Avian Influenza is by telling people that they must not travel far distances, but it is hard to convince people of this when they want to see family members and friends.
  • Telling people about the dangers of an outbreak of avian influenza would make them better aware of the risks associated with it so they would get more prepared, but the hard part is getting them interested in a subject in which it is impossible to tell when a problem may arise.
