Answer B

Answer choice B is correct because the elementary school kids are judging multiplication tables, and not if math itself should be included in the curriculum, right? And say if answer choice B instead involved the kids judging wether or not math should be included in the curriculum, it then would conform to the principle?

@Samantha-Alexis,

Great question. I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding your
math example, as that isn't present in this question. Is this not the
right question for your inquiry? If it's not, let us know. In the
meantime, let's take a look at (B) and why it's wrong.

(B) says, "Politicians who defend the rights of unpopular
constituencies ought to see to it that they use cool, dispassionate
rhetoric in their appeals. Even if they have their facts straight,
inflammatory rhetoric can cause a backlash that results in more
negative reactions to these constituencies, whether or not they are
deserving of more rights."

The problem with (B) is that it doesn't say anything about getting
their facts straight or losing credibility. All it describes is the
best rhetoric to use, and this doesn't match the principle illustrated
in the stimulus.

Does that make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
