Constance: “Current movies will never be as durable as cinema from the early days of Hollywood. Those classic movies continue to be remade and reinterpreted by subsequent generations, showing just how popular they are.”

Ben: “It may be true that current movies won’t be remade as often, but current movies play to a wider audience than those of years past, and many original movies continue to be watched and loved long past their release. A movie can be durable in its original form, and does not always have to be remade to show its longevity as a classic.”

Ben responds to Constance by:
  1. Completely misinterpreting her claim.
  2. Suggesting an alternative standard for judging the point at issue.
  3. Calling into question the appropriateness of an analogy.
  4. Questioning Constance’s knowledge of the subject at issue.
  5. Undermining her argument by pointing out inaccuracies in the facts upon which she bases her claim.
Explanation
Answer: B - Ben responds to Constance by suggesting an alternative standard for judging the point at issue. Ben does not dispute that classic movies are remade more often, but disputes that the number of remakes is the best standard for judging whether a film is durable.
