d. if a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. (paragraph 8)

Explanation:

False equivalency is a logical fallacy where two things are presented as equal or similar when they are not. In option D, the situation of helping the poor and saving the rich in a free - society is presented as an equal or directly related situation. The act of helping the poor (a social welfare - related action) and saving the rich (which could be more about economic stability or other factors) are not truly equivalent in nature, scope, or the causal relationship presented.

Answer:

D. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. (paragraph 8)
