Which tense is used to express general truths and facts?

Correct answer is B. Present perfect tense

The answer is option C: Presents a false dichotomy.

In the excerpt from the essay "Gun-Control Legislation is Unnecessary," the author introduces an innacurate contrast between two different things - hunters and ordinary people.

On the one hand, he refers to hunters as necessary to prevent animal overpopulation. He agrees to keep them armed because, according to him, hunting is a game which requires several skills, such as "tremendous concentration, expertise, and a healthy respect for the game."

However, he then suggests that ordinary people should also keep guns to protect themselves and for enjoyment. Thus, he makes a comparison between hunters who are proficient in using arms and ordinary people who do not possess any expertise in the matter.
