Answer:

C). Ad hominem.

Explanation:

'Ad hominem' is demonstrated as the logical fallacy in which the opposite claim is countered by attacking the speaker's character instead of logically countering the arguments. These attacks are irrelevant yet insignificant to the argument as they are based on emotions of prejudice and meant instead of facts, reason, or logic.

In the given example, 'ad hominem' fallacy is being displayed as it attacks Jalessa's character('caught sneaking candy into a movie theater') to undermine her participation and probability of being selected as the 'senior class president' instead of logically and significantly countering her claims(through factual and reasonable counterclaims). Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Natalka [10]

by insisting that everyone with a soul deserves rights


In the excerpt she says that "if the negro be a soul, if the woman be a soul...to one Master only are they accountable." Throughout the passage, Fuller uses various ways to insist that everyone deserves rights. She strengthens her arguments by comparing women's rights to those of the negro. She uses her arguments to show that if an African American should not be held in bondage, neither should a woman. It doesn't matter your race or gender, if you have a soul, you deserve the same rights as everyone else.
