Question

what is an example of \mudslinging\ in a political campaign?
a. one candidate compliments their opponent for their detailed foreign policy plan.

b. one candidate tells their opponent that their health plan is not practical.

c. one candidate distributes campaign ads calling their opponent an uneducated liar.

d. one candidate tells their supporters that they are 100% sure they will win.

Explanation:

Mudslinging in politics is the act of making malicious or false attacks on an opponent to damage their reputation. Option C describes a candidate distributing ads that call their opponent an "uneducated liar," which is a false/malicious attack. Option A is complimenting (not mudslinging), B is a criticism of a policy (not necessarily false/malicious), and D is a claim about winning (not an attack on the opponent).

Answer:

C. One candidate distributes campaign ads calling their opponent an uneducated liar.
