The persuasive techniques that are used in the statement given is a hasty generalization and loaded words. The correct answer is D. 
Anastasy [175]3 years ago
7 0

The persuasive technique used in this sentence is certainly not based on facts and testimony, because no relevant fact or testimony was given. It is also not a red herring, because this technique is used when it is intended to hint that the argument is not relevant to the issue being discussed. It is not euphemism either, because this technique is used when we replace some of the words that are unpleasant with some kinder and more convenient words. It is not a false analogy either, because this is  informal fallacy, it refers to what is being discussed rather than on the argument itself. The generalization is a technique of lump-sum assessment and conclusion, not at the level of the concrete problem, so that this technique is not used.

The technique used in this sentence is hasty generalization and loaded words (D). A hasty generalization is a fallacy in which the conclusion is not logically justified by facts and impartial evidence,  it implies jumping to a conclusion, secundum quid, and a neglect of qualifications, while loaded words have certain significant emotional implications that the listeners need to cause a positive or in this case a negative effect above their literal meaning.

What is an assumption historians make when they evaluate a source of information?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

They know an expert will provide the most accurate information.

Explanation:

They know an eyewitness will be free of personal bias. - This is not correct. Eyewitness reports of historical events will most likely be very much based on personal bias. Eyewitness reports will vary according to the cultural background of the person, where they were during events, their emotional state and stance towards the events, their background knowledge, their participation in the events, and many more.

They know a student who did research will be an accurate source. - This is not true. Historians can’t assume the student research will be the accurate source as students are only learning to do proper research and are expected to still make mistakes.

<u>They know an expert will provide the most accurate information. - This is the correct answer. When starting work, historians assume that experts who did research and examinations before them, and who put down information, are giving accurate accounts.</u> For example, if a historian’s work is based on the material artifact, he or she will assume that the archeologist before them made the best possible account into the explanation and background of the artifact.

They know an eyewitness report will always be truthful. - This is not true. As mentioned before, eyewitness reports are highly subjective, and therefore cannot be taken as true scientific findings.
