Question

Read the tollowing two arguments about school unitorms then answer the question below.

Carl: "Imagine a world without color and free choice. That will be the world we live in if we are forced to wear
uniforms The uniforms will be ugly. They will make you look like a nerd, because uniforms are what all nerds wear.
Don't be one of the fools that think this is a good idea, because everyone knows we do not need uniforms.
Beth: "Uniforms are a great idea for our school. Studies have shown that schools that adopted a uniform saw a 10%
increase in grades. I know Carl says that the uniforms are ugly, however as a guy, what does he know about fashion?
The uniforms will not be ugly, because uniforms are not ugly."
Who uses circular reasoning in their argument?

Answer 1

Beth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Circular reasoning is essentially reasoning that explains itself. There is no beginning, and there is no end. Another way to look at it is you can repeat either half of the statement as justification for the other. The uniform will not be ugly? Why? Because Uniforms are not ugly. Why are uniforms not ugly? Because the Uniform will not be ugly. It is a way to "answer" questions without answering them, and is good for frustrating opponents.
