Developing an Argument

Question 7 • RIDDLE-FL-1700370-Critical Thinking and Study Skills 25/26

Read the argument. I understand that she thinks the library needs repair, but can we please talk about how clean the lawn in front looks?

Answer
A
ad hominem
B
red herring
C
straw man
D
false analogy

Explanation

The issue being discussed is whether the library needs repair. Pointing out that the lawn looks clean changes the subject instead of addressing that concern, so it is a red herring. It does not attack the person or misrepresent her argument.
