Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Analyze Passage 1: It claims "standardized testing is the only way to measure student achievement", which presents a false dilemma (implying only two options: testing or no way to measure, ignoring other methods).
  2. Analyze Passage 2: It uses "Everyone knows this" and appeals to the idea that people should agree because it's a common belief, which is a bandwagon appeal (arguing that something is true because many people believe it).
  3. Check the options: Option B says "Passage 1 contains a false dilemma, while passage 2 contains a bandwagon appeal", which matches the analysis.

Answer:

B. Passage 1 contains a false dilemma, while passage 2 contains a bandwagon appeal.
