Which fallacy does this statement contain?

1 answer:

8 0

The correct option is 3) “false dilemma”. We can say this statement contains a false dilemma fallacy since it gives only two options, it is either this or that, meaning if you don't support the Lakers the only other option you have is to be a Bulls fan and it does take into account all other possible teams.

Option 1 is incorrect since post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy assumes that if B happened is because A took place first and not always an event happens as a consequence of another.

Option 2 is incorrect since red herring fallacy happens when attempting to redirect the argument from its original one.

Option 4 is also incorrect since Slippery slope occurs when a minor events is thought to bring about major consequences.

In "The Song of the Mud," what is the most significant aspect of war represented by mud?

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The most significant aspect of war represented by mud is:

C. the power of war to strip individuals of value

Explanation:

"The Song of Mud" is a poem by author Mary Borden. The speaker talks of the mud in a contrasting way. The mud is slimy, unwelcome, yet beautiful. It covers everything and everyone - hills, clothes, guns. It creates a new style, a new fashion. It stops things, thus stopping war. However, and this is the most significant aspect talked of in the poem, mud swallows the bodies of the men who died at war.

The problem here is not mud. Mud is not guilty of killing those great and honorable men - war is. War has stripped them of their value, forcing them to die away from home, to be buried by mud in such a way no one will ever find them - as if they never existed. Men who could have been with their families, enjoying the little perks and difficulties of life, are now rotting in the mud, as if their lives were worth nothing:

This is the hymn of mud-the obscene, the filthy, the putrid,

The vast liquid grave of our armies. It has drowned our men.

Its monstrous distended belly reeks with the undigested dead.

Our men have gone into it, sinking slowly, and struggling and slowly disappearing.

Our fine men, our brave, strong, young men;

Our glowing red, shouting, brawny men.

Slowly, inch by inch, they have gone down into it,

Into its darkness, its thickness, its silence.

Slowly, irresistibly, it drew them down, sucked them down,

And they were drowned in thick, bitter, heaving mud.

Now it hides them, Oh, so many of them!

Under its smooth glistening surface it is hiding them blandly.

There is not a trace of them.

There is no mark where they went down.

The mute enormous mouth of the mud has closed over them.
