Answer:
The correct answer is the last part of the excerpt
Explanation:
The part of the excerpt from President Obama’s remarks on the Buffet Rule that uses the logical fallacy of false dilemma is: “Either you’ve got to borrow more money to pay down a deeper deficit, or you’ve got to demand deeper sacrifices from the middle class, and you’ve got to cut investments that helps us grow as an economy.”
A fallacy of false dilemma is when an idea is falsely claimed to be a situation of “this or that”. When the idea is “this thing can happen or the other thing is going to happen”. But the truth is that there is another option that can be contemplated. Just like the case of Obama´s words.
The Buffet Rule was a tax plan of President Barak Obama in 2011, that wanted to make a fairer tax system.
B is the answer I think so
Answer: C) The starting point for an argument.
Explanation: A claim is a statement that we make like it is true. It is the starting point for an argument and, in order to be developed, it needs to be supported by facts, evidence and specific examples from reliable sources (sources that are serious and trust-worthy). When we make a claim, we also need to be prepared to defend it from any possible counterclaim (evidence that refute our claim).
