Politicians and propagandists use this propaganda device to generate a positive response to a statement representing vague virtue:

"The First Amendment was framed by our forefathers to protect the states from federal control. It was never intended to prevent the states from controlling objectionable speech

Therefore, the states should be allowed to control obscene, offensive, and abusive speech." This argument most likely reflects the fallacy of a. hasty generalization. b. genetics. c. begging the question. d. appeal to ignorance.

The following is an example of a well-written preview statement:

A) ?Taking a hot air balloon ride with friends is an exciting social event. B) ?A hot air balloon ride will increase your enjoyment of life. C) ?To persuade my listeners that hot air ballooning is a beneficial activity. D) ?To convince my audience that taking a hot air balloon ride will be an enjoyable experience for people of all ages. E) ?I will describe the following benefits of hot air ballooning: it's relaxing; you meet new friends; and you fulfill your need for adventure.
