Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Draft response: "We should consider extending the lunch period. You only support that because you want to waste time, and besides, the parking lot has too many potholes."

Which revision best removes the fallacies while keeping a clear position?

AYou want longer lunch because you're lazy, and everyone knows it.

BThe parking lot is terrible, so lunch must be longer.

CEither we extend lunch or students will revolt.

DTo decide about lunch length, we should weigh instructional time against student needs (eating, lines, and supervision) using schedule data; the potholes and personal motives are irrelevant here.
