Answer:

If we don't elect Mrs. Smith to the senate, we will definitely see a rise in taxes.

Explanation:

According to Clinical psychologist Rian McMullin, "Logical fallacies are unsubstantiated assertions that are often delivered with a conviction that makes them sound as though they are proven facts." The statement above uses the rise in taxes which is something that people are scared of. The assertion appears to be factual but it simply a campaign style to promote a candidate.

The correct answer is B. If we don't elect Mrs. Smith to the senate, we will definitely see a rise in taxes.

Explanation:

In language, the logical fallacy "fear" occurs when the speaker appeals to fear or some situation people are afraid of with the purpose of convincing people about an idea. This means, the speaker does not provide reasons or evidence but relies on the aspects people want to avoid. This occurs in the sentence "If we don't elect Mrs. Smith to the senate, we will definitely see a rise in taxes" because in this case the speaker appeals to the fear of people on more taxes to try to persuade them about not voting for Mrs. Smith; however, this is not a valid argument but is only based on fear.

Douglass’s Narrative shows how white slaveholders perpetuate slavery by keeping their slaves ignorant. At the time Douglass was writing, many people believed that slavery was a natural state of being. They believed that blacks were inherently incapable of participating in civil society and thus should be kept as workers for whites. The Narrative explains the strategies and procedures by which whites gain and keep power over blacks from their birth onward. Slave owners keep slaves ignorant of basic facts about themselves, such as their birth date or their paternity. This enforced ignorance robs children of their natural sense of individual identity. As slave children grow older, slave owners prevent them from learning how to read and write, as literacy would give them a sense of self‑sufficiency and capability. Slaveholders understand that literacy would lead slaves to question the right of whites to keep slaves. Finally, by keeping slaves illiterate, Southern slaveholders maintain control over what the rest of America knows about slavery. If slaves cannot write, their side of the slavery story cannot be told. Wendell Phillips makes this point in his prefatory letter to the Narrative.
