Read the following argument made by a concerned citizen at a town meeting:
are we supposed to stand idly by while our town
government wastes millions of dollars? while we pay
higher and higher taxes, our leaders are stuffing the money
into a bag that's riddled with holes! we cannot continue to
support this senseless waste. we cannot accept tax
increases as inevitable. and we cannot allow our elected
officials to retain their positions without fixing this broken
system.
which of these sentences is the most accurate evaluation of the structure of
the argument?
o
a. the repetition of the word "higher creates an emotional effect
that is convincing.
o
b. the opening question shows the issue to be a choice between
common sense and nonsense.
o
c. the idea that elected officials be suspended until the government
can be "fixed" is naïve.
o
d. the notion that paying high taxes is 'senseless' is itself nonsense,
given the evidence.
