The correct answer is Sentence 4

Explanation:

A word or phrase has an emotional connotation when it evokes emotions on the audience or it is associated with specific feelings, this includes positive and negative feelings the word evokes and that go beyond its literal meaning.

In the excerpt from Martin Luther King, the sentence with the strongest use of emotional connotation is sentence 4 "Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice" because the use of words such as "desolate valley" and "segregation" are linked to negative emotions especially in African Americans that have experienced this segregation; also, the use of "now is the time" and "racial justice" is related to feelings of hope. This makes all the sentence to be emotionally charged and evoke both positive and negative feelings.

Which fallacies appear in this passage? Select three
Nostrana [21]

A). An appeal to emotion is used to make people feel guilty if they do not support the legislation.

B). A false dilemma is used to claim that legislation is the only way to protect the environment.  

D). A bandwagon appeal is used to suggest that every American wants to help endangered species.

Explanation:

Fallacies are described as the flaw in the reasoning of an argument that makes it invalid or sound.

In the given passage, the author emotionally manipulates the audience to gain acceptance from them instead of logically persuading them. The statements like 'All Americans realize...If Congress fails to address this today, then we all lose' makes the audience feel guilty while going against the legislation. The a<u>uthor develops a false dilemma that misleads the readers regarding 'legislation being the only way to safeguard the environment</u>.' The bandwagon fallacy is displayed when the author makes an assumption that 'every American wish to help endangered species' on the basis of the majority which may not be valid all the time. Thus, <u>options A, B, and D</u> are the correct answers.
