Answer:
a. The use of Greek mythical heroes for propaganda
Explanation:
The statue of Commodus is actually a statue of Hercules, the mythical greek demigod, and son of Zeus.
What the emperor Commodus intended with the statue, was to draw a comparison between himself and the figure of Hercules: what the Greek hero represents: strenghts and divinity.

Answer:
option C
Explanation:
An argumentative assertion wherein the author or spokesperson ignores one of the large or small assumptions, does not express it explicitly or suggests this assumption is called an "enthymeme." Nevertheless the excluded premise in an enthymeme remains recognizable even though it is not articulated clearly.
Enthymeme is a rhetorical device such as syllogism, and is known as truncated syllogism or rhetoric. The goal is to influence the audience, and make inferences for them. It is easy to recognise such inferences as these comments occur after "because."

In cognitive theory, <u>behaviors are explained by understanding the mental processes behind them. </u>In other words, the focus is not on the behavior per se, but on the thought processes that led to its existence. <u>The example we are studying here seems to characterize an explanation from a cognitive perspective. Notice that Mavis's behavior is being explained through a tracking of her thought process - she has a certain stereotype for a certain reason. She is not being prejudice out of the blue, there is mental path that was taken. Mavis associated that group of girls and how they act above other people at the mall.</u>
Answer:
- Culture of prejudice.
Explanation:
The 'culture of prejudice' is one of the most common concepts in sociology which asserts that the 'prejudice' intrinsically exists in culture and propagates the stereotypes associated to it casually as the inherent part of their culture which they use to dominate and repress the inferior classes(according to them).
As per the question, since we are born in an environment highly over-powered by these stereotypes of racism that it(stereotyped impressions promotes an entire '<u>culture of prejudice</u>' which functions to propagate and advocate this prejudiced doctrines without paying much heed to understand the consequences that have been brought by these stereotypes('influence on our thought process').
