Read the passage. The cost of health care is rising in America. The amount that an average family must pay for insurance is simply unaffordable. I know this because my family is an average American family—and we are worried. The people who make decisions about health care do not seem to think about the effect of the rising costs on hardworking people like my husband and me. Which statement best explains why the evidence provided in the text is a fallacy? The writer uses an appeal to emotion by portraying her family as abandoned by policy makers. The writer uses a bandwagon statement by claiming that her family is an “average American family.” The writer uses an ad hominem argument by attacking those who make healthcare decisions. The writer uses a false dilemma by stating that insurance is both necessary and unaffordable.

The correct answer is A. The writer uses an appeal to emotion by portraying her family as abandoned by policymakers.

Explanation:

In the text, the writer supports the idea cost of health care is too high by mentioning the situation of her family, about this, she mentions policymakers do not consider "hardworking people like my husband and me". This detail would likely trigger emotions in the audience and convince them it is true health care is too hight and policymakers are not considering the situation of citizens. However, this is not a valid argument but a fallacy because the author does not use real evidence such as statistics to explain her point of view. According to this, the evidence is a fallacy because "The writer uses an appeal to emotion by portraying her family as abandoned by policymakers."
