Answer 1

The answer is d. Nonargument: The passage is a nonargument.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage is a nonargument because the person who made the statement/passage, did so by stating what they believe in without giving strong reasons which could be universally accepted: “Health care is a basic right...but when we get sick we should all have care—not just the lawyers, bankers, politicians, and others who can afford it...but we shouldn’t let people die in the street—not in this country”. The full passage is a nonargument which has been stated, but is not supported with logical reasons.
