Question

architecture the modern philosophy of \out with the old, in with the new\ has been used and abused for years. oftentimes, it has more to do with making a profit rather than a legitimate need for something new. across the united states, beautiful, historic architecture is frequently destroyed to make way for malls, high - rise apartment buildings, grandiose homes, and other structures. unfortunately, little is done to protect our history. over the past several years, it has become increasingly common for big - name developers to tear down victorian, craftsman, and colonial buildings. this destruction is often performed with the thought that it is the property that holds the true value, not the structure that sits on it. likewise, homeowners have begun to value their property’s location over the house they have spent many years living in. little regard is given to the painstaking details and craftsmanship that went into these buildings, nor the innate beauty of hand - carved woodwork and ornamentation. \out with the old, in with the new\ has resulted in people no longer appreciating the history and artistic integrity of our country’s oldest buildings and failing to realize that once \the new\ is brought in, \the old\ is lost to us forever. it is bad enough that developers and private citizens are blind to the beauty around them; what is worse is that local governments refuse to step in and prevent this destruction. cities and towns need to stand up to large developers that flash money around in select all the correct answers. which two statements explain why the underlined text is a logical fallacy? it is a straw man. it claims that \out with the old, in with the new\ has caused people to stop loving antique architecture, without providing any evidence. it restates its own claim in different words. rather than addressing an argument people actually make about modern architecture, it addresses an argument that is easier to rebut. it makes an overly general statement about people.

Explanation:

1. The underlined text makes an overly broad claim that "people no longer appreciate the history and artistic integrity of our country's oldest buildings", which is an overgeneralization as it applies this to all people without evidence.
2. It also commits a straw man fallacy: instead of addressing actual arguments for new development (like practical space needs or economic benefits), it misrepresents the opposing view as a complete rejection of old architecture's value, making the counterargument easier to rebut.

Answer:

• It is a straw man man.
• It makes an overly general statement about people.
