Read this excerpt from Frederick Douglass’s speech “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery.” Fellow citizens, pardon me, and allow me

to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I or those I represent to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? And am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits, and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us? Would to God, both for your sakes and ours, that an affirmative answer could be truthfully returned to these questions. Then would my task be light, and my burden easy and delightful. For who is there so cold that a nation's sympathy could not warm him? Who so obdurate and dead to the claims of gratitude, that would not thankfully acknowledge such priceless benefits? Who so stolid and selfish that would not give his voice to swell the hallelujahs of a nation's jubilee, when the chains of servitude had been torn from his limbs? What effect is achieved by using a series of questions in this speech?
a. It conveys a sense of wonderment about the tenets of the Declaration of Independence.
b. It gets the audience to start thinking about whether the Declaration of Independence was beneficial for the slaves.
c. It makes the audience begin to resent the policies and practices of the US government.
d. It creates a parallel structure intended to urge the audience to protest against the Declaration of Independence

Match the fallacy with its name.
allsm [11]

Answer:

Non sequitur.

Explanation:

Fallacy can be defined as a mistaken or false belief that are based on illogical arguments or reasoning.

However, a lot of people might actually think it to true but it isn't. There are various types of fallacy, these include;

black or white, non sequitur, ad hominem, bandwagon, appeal to authority, straw man, oversimplification/hasty generalization.

A non sequitur in Latin simply means that, "it does not follow." When a conclusion made doesn't tally or align with a previous statement (evidence), it is known as non sequitur.

Simply stated, a non sequitur refers to a statement that isn't logical.

Example of a non sequitur are;

"For a great night's sleep, buy a mattress from Mattress Warehouse. Our unique brand of mattress is the only mattress that Stephen King will buy for his home."

"I had dysentery last night after eating meat pie, pizzas are the best and tastiest."
