John: You told me once that no United States citizen who supports union labor should buy an imported car. Yet you are buying an Alma. Since Alma is one of the biggest makers of imports, I infer that you no longer support unions. Harry: I still support labor unions. Even though Alma is a foreign car company, the car I am buying, the Alma Deluxe, is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States. Harry's method of defending his purchase of an Alma is to ["show that John's argument involves a false unstated assumption", 'disown the principle he formerly held', 'point out that one of the statements John makes in support of his argument is false', 'claim that his is a special case in which the rule need not apply']
