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? (Points : 1)

What following?

the views of candiaes currently running for ofice o no necessaily represent the views of all poliicians.

To identify the flaw in the reporter's argument, we need to analyze the premises and conclusion of the argument. The premises are: 1) There is a new campaign finance reform bill being considered by Congress that would limit campaign contributions. 2) A survey of candidates running for mayor, governor, and senate seats shows that none of them favor the bill. The conclusion is: There is no desire among politicians to limit campaign contributions.

The flaw in the argument lies in the assumption that the opinions of the candidates surveyed accurately represent the opinions of all politicians. The fact that none of the surveyed candidates favor the bill does not necessarily mean that there is no desire among politicians to limit campaign contributions.

To recognize this flaw, we need to understand that candidates surveyed may not be representative of the entire population of politicians. It is possible that other politicians who were not part of the survey may support the campaign finance reform bill. Additionally, there may be politicians who support the bill but were not included in the survey.

Therefore, the correct answer would be: The survey does not include a representative sample of all politicians.
