Posted from my mobile device Hi
MrudulaLLet me give you my approach here
Here we have new deficit-reduction law proposed by current government. Author draws an analogy with New Deal which was oppositions policy when they were ruling
Author says, "New Deal pulled this country out of great economic troubles even though some of its programs were later found to be unconstitutional"
A) attack
the character of the opponents rather than their claim - Author didn't attack the character of the opponent instead he drew an analogy, a comparison between two things that shows a way in which they are similar. So, A is not our answer
B) imply an analogy between the law and some New Deal programs -
Correct. Understand that New Deal & new deficit reduction law are not same.
C) point out that the
opponents’ claims imply a dilemma - There were no claims from opponents stated in the statement. So we cannot infer this
D) show that the
opponents’ reasoning leads to an absurd conclusion - There were no reasoning from opponents stated in the statement. So we cannot infer this
E) show that the New Deal
also called for indiscriminate cuts in the federal budget - Whether this was the strategy is also not clear from New deal side. so this also cannot be stated.
