Ms. Parker- Unfortunately, some our city's restaurants deliberately don't refridgerate food at a proper temperature, and they do this simply because they want to safe money. |

Ms. French- That's simply not true. The only reason Ms. Parker is saying this is to scare you. |

HINT: Straw Man is reasoning that rejects a person's statement, argument, or action based upon a misrepresentation of the statement, argument, or action. This argument does reject a person's statement, and it might be misrepresenting Ms. Parker's reason for making the statement, but 1- we don't know if this is a misrepresentation and 2- it is not representing Ms. Parker's statement. It is representing her reason for making the statement.
