On Edg: Read this paragraph from a rhetorical text that argues that hate speech should be regulated. [S]oldiers’ families, shoppers and workers are protected from troubling speech. People of color, women walking down public streets or just living in their dorm on a college campus are not. The only way to justify this disparity is to argue that commuters asked for money on the way to work experience a tangible harm, while women catcalled and worse on the way to work do not—as if being the target of a request for change is worse than being racially disparaged by a stranger.

What is most likely the warrant the writer is expressing in this paragraph?

A. The writer is assuming all readers are familiar with the phenomenon of verbal assault.
B. The writer thinks it is ridiculous that the First Amendment has been regulated to protect soldiers’ families.
C. The writer is assuming that readers will identify with soldiers’ families, shoppers, and workers.
D. The writer would like the audience to take action against catcallers and racists.
