Questions 19-20

Can any research be found to validate the contention that those who spend time plucking out their gray hairs have more negative attitudes toward the elderly than those who shrug their shoulders about their gray hairs? Unless a person’s psychopathology leads him or her to overgeneralize, there is no necessary connection. Certainly it is reasonable to like the elderly yet dislike the idea of impaired eyesight and hearing. Furthermore, holding negative attitudes toward older people merely because they are old is immoral, according to nearly universally accepted ethical standards. But there is nothing immoral about disliking some concomitants of the aging process.

20.   In order to advance her point of view, the author does all of the following EXCEPT:

(A) dismiss an assertion as unfounded

(B) appeal to reason

(C) appeal to a general principle

(D) discredit a common stereotype about the elderly（D）

(E) make a distinction about attitudes

1.  Which sentence indicate (B) appeal to reason?

2. why can't we regard the following sentence as (D) discredit a common stereotype about the elderly ?

holding negative attitudes toward older people merely because they are old is immoral
