can someone please give me an example of an argument when an option like D would be correct: "It is a particular instance of the general position to be defended."

Hi @Motunrayo-Bamgbose-Martins,
Thanks for the question! So let’s break this apart. First, we need a “general position to be defended.” So let’s take one of those: say, the proposition that “killing is wrong.” And now we need a particular instance of this principle! So let’s say that D kills V because V insulted D’s hair. Well, you might say there that “killing is wrong,” or specifically, that this particular killing was wrong. So this is an instance of the general statement that killing is wrong, it’s an example of a wrongful killing.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
