Question 1 • CARE_24_25_TX-English IV B

Which statement below would be an example of a false dilemma in this debate?

Answer
A
If Audre can convince Rafaela, she will be able to start a garden.
B
Starting a school garden means there is no time for sports.
C
Starting a school garden leaves less time for reading.
D
If the school doesn’t start a garden, then it doesn’t care about students eating healthy food.

Explanation

A false dilemma presents only two choices when other possibilities exist. Saying that if the school does not start a garden, it does not care about students eating healthy food ignores other ways the school could support healthy eating. Therefore, the statement about not starting a garden proving the school does not care is the false dilemma.
