Answer: Straw man.

Explanation:

A straw man refers to a form of argument of refuting an argument, Eben though the argument's real subject was not addressed but rather the argument was replaced with a false one.

In this case, another person's argument is being taken by someone else. Then, the person either exaggerates it or distorts and then attacks the distortion without arguing on the main claim.

The statement that "My opponent would have you believe that lung cancer can be cured simply by posting "No Smoking" signs on anything

that stands still" is straw man. Here, the main argument regarding lung cancer isn't addressed.

How did physical geography affect the development of the economies of Mayan city-states?
Vladimir79 [104]

The fall of the Mayan civilization is due to the overpopulation, environmental degradation, warfare, shifting trade routes and extended drought.

<h3>How did geography affect the Mayan civilization?</h3>

Unlike the Aztecs or Inca, the Maya were never a unified empire, largely because of geography. The dense, thick jungle was simply too great an obstacle for widespread urbanization. The landscape kept the many Maya cities naturally isolated from each other, so each one maintained an independent identity. The rainforest - home to many Maya cities - made crossing land difficult. Geographic features that make travel difficult are called natural barriers. The land of the Maya had many natural barriers.

So we can conclude that: The fall of the Mayan civilization is due to the overpopulation, environmental degradation, warfare, shifting trade routes and extended drought.

<h2>Answer</h2><h3>This saying was a response to policies like the Sugar Act. Colonists were not allowed to vote for British leaders who made these policies.</h3><h2>Explanation</h2>

The Americans were forced to pay taxes to the British government without having any representative in the corridors of power of the British Parliament. This served as a constant reminder to the fact that the Americans were under a tyrannical rule by the Britishers and followed the basis of the revolution that followed in return.
