Pretest: unit 2 question 10 of 24 1 point read the following argument made by a concerned citizen at a town meeting: are we supposed to stand idly by while our town government wastes millions of dollars? while we pa higher and higher taxes, our leaders are stuffing the money into a bag that's riddled with holes! we cannot continue to support this senseless waste. we cannot accept tax increases as inevitable. and we cannot allow our elected officials to retain their positions without fixing this broken system. which of these sentences is the most accurate evaluation of the structure of the argument? o a. the opening question shows the issue to be a choice between common sense and nonsense. o b. the repetition of the word "higher" creates an emotional effect that is convincing. o c. the idea that elected officials be suspended until the government can be "fixed" is naïve. o d. the notion that paying high taxes is "senseless" is itself nonsense, given the evidence. submit
