First, it's associated sometimes with highly contentious theories, such as Holocaust denial. Recall the public furor in response to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's 2007 speech at Columbia University, when he stated that the Holocaust didn't happen. Historians emphasize that people who deny the events of the Holocaust during World War II aren't practicing revisionist history but rather negationism. Another revisionism-related scandal occurred recently in Japan, also concerning World War II. The general of the Japanese air force authored an essay asserting that Japan was bullied into Pearl Harbor by the United States and only engaged in combat as a defensive measure. This brings up the issue of credibility that has marred the field of historical revisionism. The public tends to view revisionist theories of well-known historical incidents tied closely to its own lineage with more skepticism than those regarding more obscure events.
In the end, only a small quantity of revisionists histories are eventually accepted as fact.

Answer:
D). A shoplifter like you could never have a wise opinion.
Explanation:
Non Sequitur fallacy is elucidated as the fallacy in which the conclusion is not logically supported by its premises. It makes the argument flawed and affects the validity of the argument.
The last argument involves a non sequitur fallacy as the conclusion 'you could never have a wise opinion' does not follow the premises 'a shopkeeper like you.' <u>The reason fails to justify the conclusion logically which makes the argument flawed and affects its validity</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
Answer: Karl Schwarzschild uses Einstein’s ideas about space bending to conclude that black holes are possible. Karl Schwarzschild uses Einstein’s ideas about imagination to conclude that it is more important than knowledge.
Excerpt:
Einstein's idea of gravity had big consequences. It helped explain some observations that Newton's idea didn't account for. It also opened our minds to amazing new possibilities. For example, taking his cue from Einstein's idea that space bends, scientist Karl Schwarzschild began to think about what would happen if a place in space were extremely distorted. His answer: light would follow the hyper-bent space, never to turn away from it. This was the first prediction of a black hole. At first, some scientists (including Einstein!) rejected Schwarzschild's ideas. Others were intrigued and began searching the skies for real black holes. Just decades later, they found the first of them. It just goes to show: sometimes, as Einstein himself once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Explanation:
The excerpt is about the new possibilities that Eistein's idea created. Karl Schwarzschild's conclusion is as a result of imagining the effect of space bending. The <u>key idea</u> of the excerpt starts from the fourth sentence, and this sentence starts with "<em>for example,</em>" which in turn refers to an example of how Einstein's idea opened our minds to amazing new possibilities.
According to the information given, Karl Schwarzschild did <u>not</u> find any fault in Newton’s ideas. Also, Einstein had a theory that space bends, this was <u>not</u> Karl Schwarzschild's idea or conclusion.
The correct answer is: Karl Schwarzschild uses Einstein’s ideas about space bending to conclude that black holes are possible.
