Question

QUESTION 54: Dr. Jacobson stood up at the recent town hall meeting and declared that building a new shopping center at the corner of George and Vidalia Streets would be a bad move. He cited transportation department statistics indicating that the intersection would become overloaded with traffic, and would be very dangerous for motorists and pedestrians alike. The mayor dismissed Dr. Jacobson’s opinion, on the grounds that the proposed shopping center is within a block of Dr. Jacobson’s practice. Why is the mayor’s argument weak? 2 points He does not challenge Dr. Jacobson’s argument, but merely challenges him personally. He does not acknowledge the location of his own office. He fails to recognize that Dr. Jacobson would probably welcome a new shopping center near his practice. He does not support his view with statistics from the transportation department. He doesn’t realize that Dr. Jacobson is about to retire.
