Straw man fallacy happens when you falsely argue against the similar proposition proposed by your opponent and by this way you claim opponent's proposition to be wrong. Observing the options we'll see that A is not correct because there is a claim against people, not the proposition. Option C and D could be true or they could be claimed true. Indeed, they based on facts. Only in option B, we can observe a false counterclaim against the initial proposition.

Option B. "Forcing people to buy hybrid vehicles is wrong" is a counterclaim that makes a straw man fallacy.

A straw man fallacy occurs when an argument refutes a point that the opposing side did not make. A straw man fallacy does not discuss the original argument but instead argues against another, "fake" argument that exaggerates an issue.

Option A. is a personal attack. Options C. and D. could conceivably be counterpoints to the original argument. 

However, Option B. is refuting an argument the original statement is not making. The original argument says only the hybrids help eliminate air pollution. No one said anything about forcing people to buy them -- this is an exaggerated claim. Therefore, Option B. is a straw man fallacy.

Make a prediction about the topic of Dwight Okita's poem titled "In Response to Executive Order 9066: All Americans of Japanese
scoundrel [369]

The poem probably blames Executive Order 9066 for stripping innocent Japanese-Americans of their basic freedom rights because of war-induced panic, and treating them like criminals.

Let us look at the 2 clues given in the assignment sentence:

  • <u>Executive Order 9066</u>. Issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on in February 1942, it made legal the incarceration of any American citizen affiliated with the Axis powers (i.e. Japanese Americans, German Americans, and Italian Americans) in concentration camps. This was the beginning of U.S. involvement in WWII and Japan had just attacked an American military base in Pearl Harbor.
  • <u>Dwight Okita</u>. As you can infer from his name, Okita is a Japanese-American writer. Although he wasn't alive during WWII, he probably would have supported the rights of innocent Americans of Japanese descent.
