Imagine you have given a task to write a persuasive speech where you challenge a recent new law banning the use of cell phones in cars. which statement, if included in the speech, would be considered a logical fallacy? a) if we eliminate cell phones in cars, no one will be able to communicate with one another. if we keep them, life will continue in harmony. b) banning cell phones completely from vehicles is unreasonable and shortsighted, as people use them for a number of things that actually enhance safety. c) cell phones, though sometimes a distraction if people are allowed to drive with them in their hands, still have a place in cars with proper restrictions. d) none of these choices would represent a logical fallacy, as they all make sound logical sense and would strengthen the argument in an objective, unbiased way.
