Which idea in this excerpt uses fallacious reasoning?

Slaves and slaveowners, in general, are different "by color, and other physical differences."

Conflicts between labor (workers) and capital (business owners) are common in many civilizations.

Unity, or "concert," would strengthen the slave-owning states of the South to better defend themselves against changes to the law that would compromise their lifestyle.

The relationship between slave and slaveowner is "the most solid and durable foundation on which to rear free and stable political institutions."

The correct answer is:
The relationship between slave and slaveowner is "the most solid and durable foundation on which to rear free and stable political institutions."

I took the test. Hope it helped!! :3

Answer:

The relationship between slave and slaveowner is "the most solid and durable foundation on which to rear free and stable political institutions."

Explanation:

The idea above uses fallacious reasoning for the argument it ufolds is erronous. The topic that is stated is the relationship between slaves and slaveowners. Then, it jumps onto a quoted generalisation that claims that this relation is solid enough to set the grounds to build stable political institutions. The statements do not explain what is understood by a solid relationship between slaves and slaveowners. Besides, the relationship between these two parties is set using social categories that make it evident that there is a power relationship between them: the slave and the one who owns him / her. This fact is far from making any relationship solid and stable. What is more, the claim includes opinion language such as: most solid and durable ; and stable.
