Which one of the following is an argumentative strategy employed in the argument?

Appeal to tradition
False dilemma
Appeal to consequences
Analogical reasoning

The correct answer is: False dilemma

The argumentative strategy employed in this argument is a False dilemma. A False dilemma occurs when someone presents only two options or sides when there are actually more available. In this argument, the author sets up a situation where the reader must choose between two extreme options without considering any potential middle ground or alternative solutions. This tactic is used to manipulate the reader into agreeing with the author's position by making it seem like there are no other viable choices.
