The current proposal to give college students a broader choice in planning their own courses of study should be abandoned. The students who are supporting the proposal will never be satisfied, no matter what requirements are established. Some of these students have reached their third year without declaring a major. One first-year student has failed to complete four required courses. Several others have indicated a serious indifference to grades and intellectual achievement. A flaw in the argument is that it does which one of the following? ['distorts the proposal advocated by opponents', 'avoids the issue by focusing on supporters of the proposal', 'uses the term "student" equivocally', 'argues circularly by assuming the conclusion is true in stating the premises']
