Question

__________ Clyde: Children in our society should be given greater freedom in making their own decisions, at least in many cases. Nestor: I disagree strongly, Unlike you, I do not believe children should be deprived of all parental guidance and given free rein to make their own decisions, no matter how harmful or dangerous.

Answer 1

Answer:

straw man

Explanation:

Straw man refers to a fallacy which involves making or giving a ridiculous or extremely exaggerated representation of someone's arguments in order to reprove them. Consequently, the speaker who contradicts changes the meaning of the words of the first speaker under the impression that it is quicker to beat them.

In the example given, Nestor fallaciously discredits Clyde, who never mentioned that children should be deprived of all parental guidance.
