Question

"The president’s basic problem, in my opinion, is that she is too unemotional. She makes all her decisions on cold logic and seems to ignore the human dimension. If you don’t believe me, I offer as proof the way she withdrew her support for her brother-in-law when he was charged with tax evasion. After that, he couldn’t get elected dog catcher." Which of the following best states the primary issue discussed in the passage?

Answer 1

Answer:

Whether the president is to unemotional

Explanation:

The object or the issue of discussion is the statement or the opinion which the author brings out and provides claims to support it. This should provoke the readers (or listeners) to either agree with this or counterclaim it, engaging in an argumented discussion.

Particular issue in this passage is the president's lack of emotions.

The author sees her decisions made on cold logic as a problem and states an example (situation with her brother-in-law) as a supporting claim to his view on the topic.

Now, it is up to readers to make up their minds and agree or disagree with this opinion.
