Which one of the following statements, if true, most weakens the speaker's argument?

If a counterargument is presented by an impartial observer
If the speaker's credentials are highlighted
If a strong analogy is drawn to support the argument
If a logical fallacy is pointed out in the argument

The correct answer is: If a logical fallacy is pointed out in the argument

The speaker's argument can be weakened if a logical fallacy is pointed out because it undermines the validity and strength of the argument itself. By identifying a flaw in the reasoning or structure of the argument, it calls into question the overall soundness of the argument. This weakens the persuasiveness of the speaker's position. In contrast, options A, B, and C do not directly address the core reasoning or logic of the argument and therefore do not have the same impact on weakening the argument.
