In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>D.) The author uses a metaphor to compare the West Riding men in their quest for money with hounds that pursue prey. From the context, we can realize that </span><span>Brontë was referring precisely to those men as money-thirsty people who underwent all kinds of small "local speculations" to earn money.</span>
I believe the correct answer is "the writer should use facts that can be verified to address and disprove opposing viewpoints". By doing this the writer can prove that his information is correct and win the argument.
Hope this helps!
The sound argument is this one:
<span>All teachers wear vests. Mr. Gonzales does not wear a vest. Therefore, Mr. Gonzales is not a teacher.
If ALL teachers wear vests, then it means that everyone who is a teacher is wearing a vest: you can recognise a teacher by their vest. So someone who is not wearing a vest, such as Mr. Gonzales, is not a teacher.
