Questions: Read the following excerpt from "The Patriot Act: Protection Over Privacy." Many of these requirements from using seat belts to pasteurizing milk to avoiding certain drugs - can be seen as infringing on our freedoms, but we accept those measures because of the greater good they do by protecting our health and safety. Why does Kubic include this statement in his article? to create a logical fallacy that will make his readers disagree with his viewpoint to support his argument that the laws like the Patriot Act are needed, even if they violate certain freedoms to encourage the American people to stand up to the government for violating these freedoms as well as those taken away by the Patriot Act to inform the reader about the history of government regulations in America

The answer is to support his argument that the laws like the Patriot Act are needed, even if they violate certain freedoms.

This option suggests that Kubic's intention is to use a logical fallacy to provoke disagreement. However, authors typically aim to persuade rather than intentionally create fallacies that undermine their arguments.

This option aligns with the common purpose of including statements in an article, which is to bolster the author's argument. If Kubic is discussing the necessity of laws like the Patriot Act, he might include statements to justify their importance despite potential infringements on freedoms.

This option implies a call to action against government overreach. If Kubic's article is more about justifying the need for such laws, this option would not align with his purpose.

While providing historical context can be part of an article, this option does not directly address the purpose of supporting an argument about the necessity of laws like the Patriot Act.
