3. The answer is B (Wherever there is a doughnut shop, you will find a police car parked outside). A hasty generalization is a conclusion drawn based on insufficient information or a stereotype. This statement generalizes ALL doughnut shops.
4. The answer is D (the state should increase drivers' registration fees to pay for the new highway overpass). The key word here is "should," because it is indicative of a disagreement or argument. The answer (C) is pretty close; however, this statement does not indicate an argument because only states that the person is upset. If it had said "The government SHOULD not raise interest rates," then it would have been suitable for a persuasive essay. The other answers (A) and (B) are not correct because they do not suggest an argument whatsoever.

Hope I helped :)
