Environmentalist: The commissioner of the Fish and Game Authority would have the public believe that increases in the number of marine fish caught demonstrate that this resource is no longer endangered. This is a specious argument, as unsound as it would be to assert that the ever-increasing rate at which rain forests are being cut down demonstrates a lack of danger to that resource. The real cause of the increased fish-catch is a greater efficiency in using technologies that deplete resources.
Which of the following strategies is used in the presentation of the environmentalist's position?
- A Questioning the motives of an opponent
- B Showing that an opposing position is self-contradictory
- C Attacking an argument through the use of an analogy
- D Demonstrating the inaccuracy of certain data
- E Pointing out adverse consequences of a proposal
