HELPPPPPP PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

1.In the passage below, the writer is considering deleting the underlined text.

Living in this town has become more and more expensive for most citizens. Property values have increased by 30% over the last few years, and that also means that property taxes have increased as well. Many politicians are interested in raising taxes even further to help pay for state retirement funds, but we are already taxed to the maximum we can afford. We are now facing an election year, and if we don't make sure that Bob Smith gets elected to office, then our property taxes will rise to the point where no one can afford to live here anymore.

Should the writer keep or delete the underlined text?

Keep it, because it elaborates on the data presented earlier in the paragraph.
Keep it, because it provides evidence for the claim that politicians want to raise taxes.
Delete it, because the false dichotomy creates a logical fallacy in the argument.
Delete it, because the hasty generalization creates a logical fallacy in the argument.
