In a debate a speaker presents the opponent's actual argument in a simplified and weaker form and then refutes it. What does this show?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Distortion of the argument

The governing concept is fair representation of an opposing argument. In a sound debate, a speaker should understand and present the opponent's real position before responding. Replacing it with an easier, weaker version creates a distorted target and avoids answering the original reasoning; this is commonly called a straw-man distortion. Therefore option D is correct. A fair summary and active listening would preserve the argument rather than weaken it.
