Japanese haiku

selango wrote:The Japanese haiku is defined as a poem of three lines with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line. English poets tend to ignore this fact. Disregarding syllable count, they generally call any three-line English poem with a "haiku feel" a haiku. This demonstrates that English poets have little respect for foreign traditions, even those from which some of their own poetry derives.

The reasoning is flawed because it

A. Confuses matters of objective fact with matters of subjective feeling

B. Draws a conclusion that is broader in scope than is warranted by the evidence advanced

C. Relies on stereotypes instead of presenting evidence

D. Overlooks the possibility that the case it cites is not unique

E. Fails to acknowledge that ignoring something implies a negative judgment about that thing

OA later.Please explain ur answers

IMO B

The reasoning is flawed because it

A. Confuses matters of objective fact with matters of subjective feeling
A particular poem is not being referred here. So there is no objective fact.

B. Draws a conclusion that is broader in scope than is warranted by the evidence advanced
Correct. Conclusion is about respect for foreign traditions. But, the evidence provided is a particular instance of it, which is poetic style.

C. Relies on stereotypes instead of presenting evidence
Though not an efficient one, evidence of the poetic styles is provided i the passage.

D. Overlooks the possibility that the case it cites is not unique.
Even if the case it sites is unique, it doesn't explain the flaw.

E. Fails to acknowledge that ignoring something implies a negative judgment about that thing
Passage is acknowledging that ignoring something implies a negative judgement.
Passage says "English poets tend to IGNORE this fact". Which means they are ignoring the in-depth knowledge of Haiku.
But,the conclusion is providing a negative judgement based on this IGNORING.
Hence this is opposite answer.

pick B

Hope this helps!!

The argument only talks about Japanese Haiku poem and concludes that English poets have no respect for foreign traditions
