The correct answer is B. Some people think that mice are dirty and frightening.

Explanation

An argument is a way to enunciate or justify a proposition, this can be oral or written and should be characterized by coherence and consistency because it has the objective to persuade the audience about the position of the author. On the other hand, a counterclaim is an argument used to refute or oppose another argument or statement and because of this, it should be coherent and consistent to successfully contradict and prove as invalid the argument in opposition. In the case of Shane, who says that "white mice are clean and friendly house pets" the counterclaim should show the way in which the assumption of mice as clean are friendly is incorrect, because of this the correct answer is "B. Some people think that mice are dirty and frightening", because this statement is in  opposition with Shane's argument, it has coherence and consistency and it directly contradicts the main point of Shane's argument.

When receivers are distracted, they are less able to engage in issue-relevant thinking, and hence may be more susceptible to pro
Masja [62]

The correct answer is "True".

In issue-relevant thinking there are 2 major routes that lead to persuasion.

  • Under the <em>central route</em>, a person will be persuaded after careful consideration of the true merits of the information received.
  • Under the <em>peripheral route</em>, a person will focus on the positive or negative aspects about the information received, regardless of the information's true characteristics.

If a person who is receiving information (receiver) becomes distracted, he will probably miss details relevant to the "central" route. This would lead him to make a conclusion based on what he considers to be positive or negative about the information he is receiving.

Example: A car's cost is information related to the "central" route because it cannot be related to being positive or negative. On the other hand, a car's color is related to the "peripheral" route because a person can have a preference for certain color that would lead him to consider the car's color as positive or negative.
