I think such as, because you are naming multiple symptoms. You are not comparing/contrasting, consequently is used in a sentence to state something as a result or therefore. Initially means at first, when used in a sentence. So, “such as” is the best choice.

In the passage, why does Krakauer describe the picture that McCandless takes of himself?
pishuonlain [190]

To illustrate that the list that McCandless had made was supported by actions as well as words, as shown in option D.

<h3>What is the effect of this description?</h3>
  • It increases the reader's feelings about the characters' intentions.
  • It optimizes the understanding of McCandess' image.
  • Characterizes the characters indirectly.

When Krakauer describes McCandless's image of himself, he promotes a greater understanding of McCandless's list and shows himself as a character who likes to analyze the actions of others very accurately. It also shows that McCandless is a very proactive character who speaks and acts on his words.

This attitude is efficient to explain the characters and indirectly characterizes them.

What is a false dilemma?
katovenus [111]

A false dilemma is a type of informal fallacy in which something is falsely claimed to be an "either/or" situation, when in fact there is at least one additional option.

The false dilemma fallacy can also arise simply by accidental omission of additional options rather than by deliberate deception. For example, "Stacey spoke out against capitalism, therefore she must be a communist" (she may be neither capitalist nor communist). "Roger opposed an atheist argument against Christianity, so he must be a Christian" (When it's assumed the opposition by itself means he's a Christian). Roger might be an atheist who disagrees with the logic of some particular argument against Christianity. Additionally, it can be the result of habitual tendency, whatever the cause, to view the world with limited sets of options.

Some philosophers and scholars believe that "unless a distinction can be made rigorous and precise it isn't really a distinction". An exception is analytic philosopher John Searle, who called it an incorrect assumption that produces false dichotomies.Searle insists that "it is a condition of the adequacy of a precise theory of an indeterminate phenomenon that it should precisely characterize that phenomenon as indeterminate; and a distinction is no less a distinction for allowing for a family of related, marginal, diverging cases."Similarly, when two options are presented, they often are, although not always, two extreme points on some spectrum of possibilities; this may lend credence to the larger argument by giving the impression that the options are mutually exclusive of each other, even though they need not be. Furthermore, the options in false dichotomies typically are presented as being collectively exhaustive, in which case the fallacy may be overcome, or at least weakened, by considering other possibilities, or perhaps by considering a whole spectrum of possibilities, as in fuzzy logic.
