Which Is the Best Standard-Form Representation of the Following Argument

Question 14

Multiple Choice

Which is the best standard-form representation of the following Argument from Analogy?
Some people argue that it's wrongful cultural appropriation -- wrongful use of the ideas or practices of another culture -- for a white person to wear dreadlocks. But that condemnation is totally unjustified. No one says it's wrongful cultural appropriation for a black woman with kinky hair to straighten it. But, this is relevantly similar to a white person wearing dreadlocks: both are cases where a person is adopting practices from another culture. So, it's not wrongful cultural appropriation for a white person to wear dreadlocks.


A) 1) It's not wrongful cultural appropriation for a white person to wear dreadlocks.
2) A white person wearing dreadlocks is relevantly similar to a black woman who straightens her hair.

B) 1) It's not wrongful cultural appropriation for a black woman to straighten her hair.
2) A white person wearing dreadlocks is relevantly similar to a black woman who straightens her hair.
So, it's not wrongful cultural appropriation for a white person to wear dreadlocks.
C) 1) It's not wrongful cultural appropriation for a white person to wear dreadlocks.
2) A white person wearing dreadlocks is relevantly similar to a black woman who straightens her hair.
So, it's not wrongful cultural appropriation for a black woman to straighten her hair.
D) 1) It's not wrong for a person to adopt a practice from another culture.
2) A black woman who straightens her hair is adopting a practice from another culture.
So, it's not wrongful cultural appropriation for a white person to wear dreadlocks.
