Hello!

I see why D is the answer but isn't B also a flaw? I was stuck between B and D and I picked B because I thought D was too specific. Can someone break down the AC's for me, please? Thanks in advance!

Hi Gab,

For (B), the political scientist does provide some support for the idea that freedom is hopelessly vague. However, even if this evidence wasn't there, simply making an unsupported claim is not by itself a flaw in reasoning.

Hope that helps!
