Claim: hybrid vehicles help eliminate air pollution

English

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.

My English task for the weekend is to download an English movie which is not very popular yet it still have great plot and suita
charle [14.2K]
Hmm. A bit tricky. This going to be a phony choice, but if you wouldn't mind it, then I would say the "Bratz" movie. It's 10 years old, and was panned by a lot of people, but it still has a pretty good plot like making friends and things that happen in school. Or maybe "Princess Protection Program", which also has a good plot of friendship and what not. I know it's odd and sounds chessy, but if you think about it, they can teach some lessons about life, plus it's appropriate for students to watch.
