Pundit: Clearly, the two major political parties in this city have become sharply divided on the issues. In the last four elections, for example, the parties were separated by less than 1 percent of the vote. The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the argument ['presumes, without argument, that sharp division is a bad thing', 'takes for granted that an almost even division in votes indicates a sharp division on issues', 'fails to indicate how what is happening in one city compares with what is happening in other cities', 'has a conclusion that is merely a restatement of one of its premises']
