PrepTest 49, Section 2, Question 5
Letter to the editor: Middle-class families in wealthy nations are often criticized for the ecological damage resulting from their lifestyles. This criticism should not be taken too seriously, however, since its source is often a movie star or celebrity whose own lifestyle would, if widely adopted, destroy the environment and deplete our resources in a short time.

The reasoning in the letter to the editor is vulnerable to criticism in that it
criticizes a characteristic of the people giving an argument rather than criticizing the argument itself
takes failure to act consistently with a belief as an indication of the sincerity with which that belief is held
presumes that a viewpoint must be unreasonable to accept simply because some of the grounds advanced to support it do not adequately do so
fails to recognize that evidence advanced in support of a conclusion actually undermines that conclusion
generalizes about the behavior of all people on the basis of the behavior of a few
