Complete Question Explanation
Flaw in the Reasoning. The correct answer choice is (E)
In this stimulus, the politician makes the following questionable argument:
Answer choice (A): There is no such presumption—the author discusses an idea ascribed to modern liberals, but does not make the claim that actors are liberals.
Answer choice (B): The politician does not use the term “liberal” in order to discredit the idea, so this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (C): The politician’s argument does not require that one’s profession holds any moral obligation, so this cannot be the flaw in the reasoning.
Answer choice (D): This answer choice describes the flaw of internal contradiction, and there is no such flaw in the politician’s argument—just an unjustified leap in logic.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice, and the one which best reflects our prephrase above: the politician makes the unwarranted assumption that refusing a role is the same as censorship.
