The correct answer is C) a Straw Man.

<em>The type of fallacy the second council member is making is Straw Man. </em>

A strawman argument is an argument that is fallacious and distorts an opposing argument with the intention of attacking it more easily. But what really happens is that the strawman argument is not responding or attacking the original argument, but a distorted idea of the original argument,

In this case, the type of fallacy the second council member is making is a strawman, when he says that “making drinking water only available to rich people is a terrible idea.”

storchak [24]

In contrast, command economies are focused most on preserving and requiring equal opportunities, which means governments that greatly regulate the economy. More economic systems are geared toward offering producers and consumers the freedom to make economic choices, so mixed market economies are more common in the world today.</span>
