Read the following excerpt from a speech given to a board of education: I'm here to ask you to give high school students fewer
tests. Excessive testing is not the only way to find out a
student's aptitude.
Which phrase most clearly makes the tone inappropriate for the setting?

showing or having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others. (so basically being heartless)

hope this : )

why did you delete the answer?

the answer is "the man who came here yesterday was selling magazines."

answer: it is true that students often work and do household chores, but managing homework in addition to other responsibilities students learn to organize their time efficiently and prioritize their studies.

the first argument attacks those who disagree, asking them to be "realistic" and "accept facts." this is not conducive to healthy debate and disagreement. the second one only takes into account a section of the student population, and ignores the other one. finally, the third option offers only anecdotal evidence. it is only the last option that provides a well-constructed argument in a persuasive way.
