Select the correct text in the passage. which line in this passage uses the logical fallacy of hasty generalization? representative weaver claims that his bill is motivated by "safety." "nearly half of all accidents involve people under the age of 21," representative weaver claims. "raising the driving age," he adds, "would mean raising the level of safety on america's roads." but i would ask representative weaver the following questions: do not "nearly half" of all accidents involve men? wouldn’t the streets be safer, then, if male drivers were abolished? and what about the percentage of accidents occur on paved roads? should we do away with paved roads, too? here are some more questions i would like to ask representative weaver: if the driving age is raised to 21, what will happen to all the afternoon jobs, the sports, and programs that require some sort of transportation? what will happen to america's economy (and its spirit) when high schooler students can no longer work at restaurants? "a teenager behind the wheel is the symbol of american youth," writes author peter chacha. what will happen to this symbol if representative weaver's plan is approved? weaver also claims that "a majority of seat belt violations" are the fault of the under-21 crowd. but let me ask you this: do people under the age of 21 really wear their seat belts less often than older people, or are they just caught more often? we know the police have their eyes on the teenagers, but are they looking at the adults as well?

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
