PT16_S3_Q20 Maria vs James

Post by existence1943 » Wed Apr 04, 2018 10:26 pm

Hello!

The correct answer for this question is D: 'disputing the conditions under which a key term of her argument can be appropriately applied'. But B is so hard for me to eliminate.

I think James counters Maria's argument by re-define the implication of totalitarian: 'the ambition of state' rather than 'the actual degree of control'. Thus, answer B is also acceptable, since it offers an alternative explanation for the situation Maria describes.

Is there detail I've missed here?

Thanks!
