This argument illustrates the slippery slope fallacy as Leo Panchello was used to create a happy picture of how much hard work local business owners put in and then goes on to tell how the light rail would destroy the local business and ruin all of their hard work which brings a sad ending.

<h3>What is a fallacy?</h3>

This is known as a mistaken belief, a faulty or failed reasoning especially one based on unsound argument.

Hence, the fallacy makes the argument weak because there's no indication that a light rail would destroy a main local business in the town as when constructing a light rail, they do not tear up the street, instead, they make the light rail a part of the street

A slippery slope fallacy is a course of action that is rejected because there is little or no evidence that one insists to lead to a chain reaction resulting in an undesirable end.

The correct answer is The following Saturday, I was walking by the dirt lot again, and there was Ben digging up the dirt with a shovel.

Explanation:

In this passage, the narrator describes experiences related to the creation of a community garden. In sentence 5, the author describes what seems to be the beginning of community garden "I was walking by the dirt lot again, and there was Ben digging up..."; however, this sentence does not show the relationship between this event and the events previously described.

In this context, it is necessary to add a time relationship or at least a connector that shows how Been acting strangely led to him began working to create a garden. According to this, the best option is "The following Saturday, I was walking by the dirt..." because this clearly shows this last event occurred after Ben decided the dirt lot was a perfect place to create a community garden.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Signifying nothing.

Explanation:

These lines are a quote from the tragedy play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Taken from Act V scene v, these words are said by Macbeth after he hears of the death of his wife, lady Macbeth.

Macbeth at first seemed to be shaken with the news brought by Seyton that "the queen, my lord, is dead." But then, Macbeth began talking of the inevitability of death for everyone. He accepts that "she should have died hereafter", and that "Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/ Signifying nothing." This could also be taken as his acceptance of the meaninglessness and the futility of human life, which also indirectly made his act of murdering King Duncan an insignificant act. He is in a way, justifying his murderous acts and seems to imply their insignificance. After all, life is just a shadow cast by a brief candle.
