The quality of a discussion often depends on how closely the parties attend to the same issue. For the passage below, determine whether the speakers are clearly disputing the same issue, or whether somebody is missing the point.A: The legislature should pass a bill banning agricultural burning-when they burn those fields the whole area is covered with a layer of smoke.B: Forget about agricultural burning-automobile emissions cause the greatest percentage of air pollution in this area.
What will be an ideal response?
There is an obvious sense in which these two speakers are addressing the same issue: namely, whether there should be a ban on agricultural burning. But B is clearly dismissing that issue because of another one-whether autos pollute more than burning-which may not be relevant. B may be correct about auto pollution, but it doesn't follow that agricultural burning shouldn't be curtailed.
