The correct answer is B. It exaggerates the opponent's claims.

Explanation:

Straw man fallacy is a type of fallacy that occurs as the speaker exaggerates, modifies or distorts the argument and claims of an opponent to make the audience believe his claim and arguments. This is considered as a fallacy because the speaker is not providing real arguments to support his claim but instead attacks the opponent's argument (even though the speaker changes it) to prove he is right. This technique is considered as unethical but despite this is widely used in debates, discussions and many other situations. Considering this, the statement that describes a straw man fallacy is " It exaggerates the opponent's claims".

HELP PLEASE I HAVE 5 MINS PLZZZZ
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

"First, the plesiosaur is an air breather." is the line from the article that best disproves the plesiosaur theory. In the article, the author argues that because plesiosaurs were air breathers, they would need to come up for air more frequently than any sightings ever occur. As there are so few "sightings" every year and supposedly fewer now than ever, it is unlikely that Nessie is a plesiosaur.
