false assumption

Explanation:

The terms used here are fallacies and they have been correctly matched to the statements above.

A fallacy is the use of faulty, invalid or inaccurate reasoning to make an argument.

Fallacy is used by us many times in our day to day correspondence with others. We use it to try and 'win' an argument with someone without even knowing we are committing a fallacy.

For example, telling someone that because you cheated in a test and got high grades, therefore, everyone that gets high grades in a test cheated is a fallacy of hasty generalization.

What is unhealthy and healthy about Romeo and Juliet’s relationship?
sweet [91]

The unhealthy and healthy thing about the relationship between Romeo and Juliet was infatuation and commitment.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>"These violets delights have violet ends</em>

<em>And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,</em>

<em>which as a kiss, consume"</em>

<em>- Romeo and Juliet, Act II, scene IV</em>

<u>Unhealthy relationship of Romeo and Juliet.</u>

To begin with their relationship, love at first sight is not exactly love. Most of the time it is infatuation. Such love story would end with no proper understanding and hatred. Love at first sight usually happens when the mind is immature yet it works out rarely which wasn't exactly the case of Romeo and Juliet.

The idea of playing with death only lead to misconception between Romeo and Juliet relationship leading to a tragic end.

<u>Healthy relationship of Romeo and Juliet</u>

Romeo and Juliet some way or the other they were the ones for each other. It could have been an infatuation but their commitment was strong and powerful no matter who told what. They trusted and believed in each other and were sensitive enough to die.

How do we know Rodion is poverty stricken? Why does it bother him the least to wear his shabby clothing outside?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Rodion is poverty stricken for the narrator tells us that he was in huge debt to his landlady, dressed shabbily and that he was 'crushed by poverty'.

He did not have a care about his looks for his heart was full of hatred and spiteful contempt for the outside world.

Explanation:

The character of Rodion is from Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment". He is shown as a poor ex- law student in need of money who commits a crime t fund his educational purposes.

We can know Rodion is "<em>poverty stricken</em>" by the way the writer had written in the very first chapter of the book. The narrator states "<em>He was hopelessly in debt to his landlady</em>" and that "<em>He was crushed by poverty</em>". Such was his condition, which we again see in the later lines "<em>He was so badly dressed that even a man accustomed to shabbiness would have been ashamed to be seen in the street in such rags</em>".

He wasn't bothered at all to wear his shabby clothes outside as he has too much of contempt and spite for the outside world. The narrator tells us that he had "<em>accumulated bitterness and contempt in the young man’s heart,  that, in spite of all the fastidiousness of youth, he minded his rags least of all in the street</em>".
