Which statement best explains how the author uses a
logical fallacy to support the claim that owners should
evaluate the space needs of a breed before choosing
one?
Many dog owners find that they love the energy and
presence of large-breed dogs. However, sometimes
those owners live in small spaces such as apartments
or row houses with little or no outside space. Have you
ever seen a giant dog cooped up in a tiny apartment?
Clearly, large dogs need ample space to run and
exercise to maintain proper health. Owners should
evaluate the space needs of a breed before choosing
one. If owners in small living spaces insist on keeping
large-breed dogs, the dogs' health will suffer.
The author establishes a false dilemma between
people living in small houses and those living on
large properties
The author uses a straw man argument to claim that
dog owners do not care about the exercise needs of
their dogs.
The author creates a false dilemma between
housing large dogs on spacious properties or hurting
the health of the dog.
The author uses a straw man argument to assert
that some dog owners do not understand how
exercise impacts the health of their dog.
