The choice that includes an example of a straw man fallacy is:
"Anyone who opposes giving our hockey referees a significant raise clearly believes that referees do not deserve an ounce of respect."
This statement misrepresents the opponent's view by suggesting that not supporting a raise equates to a lack of respect for referees, which may not be the actual position of those who oppose the raise. This is a classic example of a straw man fallacy, where someone distorts or oversimplifies an argument to make it easier to attack.
