Answer: I believe the right answer to be the third option, letter C. hyperbole and inductive reasoning.

Explanation:

The statement presents inductive reasoning, not a deductive one. Inductive reasoning starts from specific examples and facts and then moves on to a generalized conclusion. The speaker moves from observing specific Boxers to concluding that all Boxers (generalization) behave in the same manner. Deductive reasoning would do the opposite, moving from general principles to a specific conclusion. Thus, we can eliminate options B and D.

A hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used to give emphasis to the message the speaker wants to convey. In this case, the exaggeration comes from comparing the dogs to tornados. The speaker's intention is to have the reader visualize the mess a Boxer dog is able to leave behind it by having the reader picture the mess left by a tornado. Of course, what the dog can do is not nearly as catastrophic as what the tornado can. Therefore, a hyperbole is used.

Read the sentence. When asked about his plan to reduce taxes, the candidate said, “Improving the unemployment rate is important.
zheka24 [161]

The logical connection is absent. The answer lacks any explanation to the question being made. The main problem is that the interviewer is left with a very incomplete response, one that requires a lot of work from part of the interviewer. In this case in particular, even if there were a connection between reducing rates and unemployment, it seems that the candidate does not really have an answer to the question.  That is why the fallacy is the lack of connection or relevance between the question and the answer

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Has a tragic flaw

Explanation:

Every tragic hero must have a tragic flaw. In classic literature, this was typically their pride. While pride could be a good thing, excessive pride proves to be fatal to their character

Macbeth's tragic flaw was greediness for power. The witches knew his weakness and they used it against him. Power thirst led him to his downfall. He wanted power and was too greedy to acquire it legitimately, rather he was consumed by a fit of greed to have it all and it ruined him
