Answer: A) It draws a conclusion about a population based on a small sample.

Explanation: A flawed reasoning is when we make a conclusion that is wrong because the reasoning that led us to that conclusion, was wrong too. In the given example, the reasoning is flawed because Barbara Kingsolver is drawing a conclusion about a population ("everyone with an iota of social position wore polka-dot shirts and miniskirts") based on a small sample (in this case, probably just a few people she had seen wear polka-dot shirts and miniskirts).

Answer:

Dogs who need to be adopted → Subject

To educate people about adopting  dogs → Purpose

People in the community  → Audience

Explanation:

I have been able to identify each item.

<em>Dogs who need to be adopted</em> is the Subject because it gives an insight to what is to be learnt or discussed. We discover here that dogs who need to be adopted is the subject.

<em>To educate people about adopting  dogs</em> is the Purpose. This true because the sentence begins with "to educate". This means that the purpose of the subject is to educate.

<em>People in the community</em> is the Audience. Audience refers to people. Here, the audience mentioned was specific - "people in the community"
