Read the following paragraph from an essay against banning dog breeds: For one thing, there is no such breed as a pit bull. The American Kennel Club does not recognize or register pit bulls. The ASPCA (2011) says a dozen or more different breeds are often lumped under the label, and each has its own disposition and characteristics. Because there isn’t a true pit bull breed, the statistics that ban advocates use cannot be trusted. While government records do list pit bulls as the biggest single cause of fatal dog attacks, the same study calls its own figures unreliable because people tend to call any large dog with a big head and short coat a pit bull (Sacks, Sinclair, and Gilchrist, 2015).

This paragraph provides evidentiary support for which of the arguments below?

A) There is no clear proof that pit bulls are inherently dangerous.
B) Banning pit bulls will not reduce dog attacks on humans.
C) Organizations familiar with dogs and dog behavior oppose bans on specific breeds.
D) Statistics are unreliable.

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”
