Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Option 1: The passage's argument doesn't rely on readers knowing Gandhi's accomplishments; it uses his quote about animal treatment, so alienation due to unfamiliarity with Gandhi isn't accurate.
  • Option 2: The argument doesn't focus on clarifying municipal spending's important aspects. It criticizes officials' character rather than analyzing spending details.
  • Option 3: The author calls officials "heartless" and says they should be "ashamed" or "replaced," attacking their character instead of analyzing specific municipal spending issues (like budget priorities, need for animal shelter funding, etc.). This matches the argument's approach.

Answer:

  1. It attacks the character of decision makers rather than analyzing specific issues related to municipal spending.
