The whole city is littered with trash, and we need to do something about it. It's
so bad that garbage is floating in the ocean and being washed up on our shores.
If we can control our consumption and limit how much trash we generate, then
we'll be able to combat this menace. Plastic bags should be banned because it is
the only way that we can possibly clean up our city streets. Either we ban plastic
bags, or we continue to live in filth and squalor.
Which statement best explains the logical error in this passage?
The argument assumes that plastic bags are the cause of the city's
trash problems.
The argument shows that one small change will lead to bigger
problems for the city.
The argument doesn't provide the audience with a clearly stated claim.
