Answer:

The right anwer is "an appeal to reason".

Explanation:

The writer uses a series of resources to appeal to people's reason in order to gain support for a fight. He reminds the audience about work already done "if we mean not to basely abandon the noble struggle we have so long engaged". Moreover, a moral commitment is brought up "we have pledged ourselves never to abandon...". The appeal is presented so that no answers other than to forge ahead and fight seem reasonable.

Identify the logical fallacy. If there's one thing we need to make this place a real community, it's a professional baseball tea
adell [148]

Answer/Explanation:

The logical fallacy presented is an ad hominem. The statement tries to prove that voting yes on stadium tax will make you a good person. Those of the opposing argument would have been "unloyal" citizens. This argument proves feelings rather than facts making it an ad hominem.

The phrase, "Voting on the stadium tax is the duty of every loyal citizen" is a true statement. However, adding voting "yes," specifies it to one side. The author then takes it a step further stating "in fact, it is the test of whether you are a good neighbor." In the long run, this implies that if you vote against us, you are a bad person.
