4. <11{1[2(06)06]}> Reporter: A new campaign finance reform bill being considered by Congress would limit the amount of campaign contributions that political candidates can receive. However, a survey of candidates running for mayor, governor, and senate seats shows that not one of them favors the bill. Clearly, there is no desire among politicians to limit campaign contributions.
Which one of the following points out the flaw in the reporter’s argument above
The reporter doesn’t indicate the amount that the new bill would limit campaign contributions.
The evidence provided by the reporter suggests that most politicians are in favor of the new bill.
The reporter wrongly assumes that no politician has ever supported a bill intended to limit campaign contributions
The views of candidates currently running for office do not necessarily represent the views of all politicians.
What kind of HELP do you need? You need to be specific when asking questions here.
If all you do is post your entire assignment, with no evidence of thinking on your part, nothing will happen since no one here will do your work for you. But if you are specific about what you don't understand about the assignment or exactly what help you need, someone might be able to assist you.
what am I suppose to answer here. The main point of this argument or what? I have never answer a question about analyzing the flaw? What does that mean, what should I be looking at? is is for mistakes in the arguments or what? Thank you

The flaw in the reporter's argument can be pointed out by choosing the option: "The views of candidates currently running for office do not necessarily represent the views of all politicians."
To explain why this is the correct answer, we need to understand the reasoning in the reporter's argument. The reporter argues that there is no desire among politicians to limit campaign contributions based on the fact that none of the surveyed candidates running for mayor, governor, and senate seats favor the bill.
However, this reasoning is flawed because it assumes that the views of these specific candidates represent the views of all politicians. In reality, the views of candidates currently running for office may not necessarily reflect the views of all politicians. It is possible that there are politicians who support the bill but were not included in the survey, or that the surveyed candidates simply do not represent the overall political landscape accurately.
Therefore, the correct answer option is that the views of candidates currently running for office do not necessarily represent the views of all politicians, pointing out the flaw in the reporter's argument.
