Start the planIncumbent candidate for governor: As the people of our great state know, my administration has created unprecedented economic prosperity and job growth. Just look at the unemployment rate, which has reached its lowest point in nearly twenty years!
Opposing candidate for governor: That’s preposterous. You overlook the fact that the unemployment rate is just as much a function of the number of people in the labor market as much as it is of the number of people employed. Your greatest contribution to the economy has been a series of retirement parties and moves to other states!
The opposing candidate’s reply to the incumbent proceeds by:
A) Supplying a statistic that undermines the incumbent’s conclusion.
B) Suggesting that the incumbent’s statistic is factually inaccurate.
C) Offering a statistic that sheds additional light on the statistic supplied by the incumbent.
D) Claiming that the incumbent used a statistic irrelevant to his conclusion.
E) Pointing out that the incumbent cited a statistic that does not necessarily support his conclusion.
