PrepTest 90+, Section 2, Question 2
Council president: Councilmember Smith has proposed a new city ordinance prohibiting the use of the "bait-and-switch" sales tactic. Smith must have amnesia. Four years ago he owned an appliance store that was famous for its use of bait-and-switch. Clearly, Smith's proposed ordinance does not even merit consideration.

The council president's reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the president
dismisses the proposed ordinance because of its source rather than because of its content
takes a single fact that is incompatible with a claim as enough to show that claim to be false
fails to make a needed distinction between deceptive sales tactics and legitimate methods of increasing sales
draws a conclusion that simply restates a claim presented in support of that conclusion
generalizes from a limited number of instances of a certain kind to all instances of that kind
