Question

All electric toothbrushes are not alike! What’s more, most are not designed with children’s small hands in mind. The new “Brush Right” electric toothbrush is easier for kids to hold. That’s because it is 40% narrower than the leading brands. It also has a specially curved handle to help kids clean those hard-to-reach places.

Our teeth get the cleanest when we brush for two to three minutes. Brush Right helps kids to do exactly that. Our toothbrushes can be programmed with different “ringtones.” These tones will go off every 30 seconds until two minutes are up. This will encourage kids to brush longer, and that means fewer trips to the dentist! Brush Right comes in colors kids will love. Kids aren’t the only ones who like our toothbrush, though. Brush Right is popular with adults, too. Try the new Brush Right electric toothbrush today.

Answer 1

The argument that is based on faulty reasoning is:

A. The new “Brush Right” electric toothbrush is easier for kids to hold.

This statement makes a subjective claim without providing specific evidence or data to support it, such as comparisons with other toothbrushes in terms of weight balance, grip design, or child usability studies. The assertion that it is "easier to hold" is not necessarily quantifiable or demonstrated, as individual experiences can vary significantly based on a child's personal preferences and hand size.
