A researcher at a local university recently came out with a
study saying excessive screen time is actually good for
students. The study comes to a series of unbelievable
conclusions, including that screens help students connect
with other people. How can that be true? Plenty of
evidence shows that screen time ruins students' sleep
time and causes behavioral issues in school. This one
foolish researcher put out a contradictory study, but it's
plain wrong.
Which statement best explains how the author uses
faulty reasoning to serve a purpose?

argument more persuasive.
O The author uses slippery slope arguments to warn
about screen use.
O The author inserts bias to prove that screen time
negatively impacts all aspects of life.
O The author uses ad hominem to persuade the
reader that the study is wrong.
