Question

select the correct answer.
in which scenario is someone using peer pressure based on a reasoning tactic?
a. \tough, lighten up. if you wont even take a sip, you cant be in our group.\
b. \come on, maryann. try it. im totally sure that one puff wont cause you harm.\
c. \dont be afraid, freddy. you arent a real friend if youre afraid to try one little pill with us.\

Explanation:

To determine the scenario with a reasoning tactic in peer pressure, we analyze each option:

• Option A uses exclusion ("can't be in our group") as a threat, not reasoning.
• Option B provides a reason ("I'm totally sure that one puff won't cause you harm") to persuade, using a reasoning tactic.
• Option C uses friendship manipulation ("aren't a real friend") without logical reasoning.

Answer:

B. "Come on, Maryann. Try it. I'm totally sure that one puff won't cause you harm."
