Brush Right with Brush Right

Question

J. Han

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 based on faulty reasoning is:

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

While the claim that the toothbrush is easier for kids to hold is presented, the reasoning may be faulty because it does not provide sufficient evidence or comparison to demonstrate how "easier to hold" translates into better user experience or improved brushing habits compared to other toothbrushes. The assertion is subjective without specific data or feedback from children regarding their experience with holding the toothbrush.
