1. A costly and complicated federal program, the distribution of food stamps has been
severely criticized in the past as too expensive and too inefficient. Recently, food stamp
fraud has been documented in at least four different states in the United States. Given
the evidence of fraud, where the individuals using food stamps were far from needy, it is
a good idea to consider limiting, perhaps even abolishing, the program. Justified opinion.
2. The animals used in the laboratory research are treated in a scandalously abusive
fashion. In their pursuit of cures for human diseases, scientists do not seem to care how
they treat the animal subjects. Considered inferior beings, animal can be tortured,
starved, even killed, and no one cares. After all, the mistreatment is done in the name of
medical progress for human beings. Because animals have no language to voice their
pain, we ignore it and let their suffering continue. Appeal to the emotion
3. The poet Ezra Pound has again been suggested as a candidate for a posthumous literary

community, and there are those who insist that Pound’s name be withdrawn because of
his treasonous behavior during World War II, when he made broadcasts for Hitler’s
supporters. Attack on the person

of welfare fraud. Hazty generalization
5. It is just not fair for smokers to be allowed to smoke when nonsmokers are present;
there should be more regulations forbidding people to indulge in smoking if
nonsmokers are present. In a recent study, the American Cancer Association has
reaffirmed and strengthened its original position on smoking cigarettes. There is a clear-
cut link between smoking cigarettes and the incidence of lung cancer. In addition,
smokers are three times more likely to get heart disease and emphysema. Unjustified
opinion

she will undoubtedly be elected governor.
2. The defendant is accused of serving liquor to those under the age of eighteen, thereby
contributing to the delinquency of minors. Yet this is a man with two children of his own,
a family man who has worked hard for over twenty years to earn a decent living. Only by

hungry mouths.
