People have claimed that Jamie’s paintings have given them the blues. Clearly this cannot be entirely correct, since many of Jamie’s paintings contain no blue at all.
The argument above is flawed because the author (Points : 1)
provides no evidence
misinterprets a key term
relies on contradictory facts
is not a noted painting expert
I'll be glad to check your answer.
misinterprets a key term
The correct answer is "misinterprets a key term."
The argument is flawed because it assumes that when people say Jamie's paintings have given them the blues, they are referring to the color blue being present in the paintings. However, "the blues" is a common idiomatic phrase that typically refers to a feeling of sadness or melancholy, not necessarily the color blue. Therefore, the author misinterprets the key term, leading to a flawed argument.
