Answer and Explanation:
Dear Trevor:
<em />
<em>Hello again my dear friend, I hope you're doing well. It has been a while since we last spoke and you might be wondering why.</em>
<em>As many people know by now thanks to social media, </em><em>there was a terrible and disastrous fire in the Chipinque forest last week.</em><em> It caused important losses of old and valuable trees which have survived for over 100 years. Also, many species of wildlife were killed, while others suffered numerous injuries.</em>
<em>As much as I am grateful for not being harmed in this fire, I am deeply sad about this situation and I'm certain you will be too due to your profound appreciation for this town, which will always be your first and most-loved town. The main reason of this letter is to let you know we are all safe. However, I wanted to please ask you to be careful because, as you already know, the current high temperatures are able to cause many similar disasters and horrible losses, no matter where we are.</em>
<em>I truly hope I can visit your town soon to catch up and tell you more about this unfortunate event.</em>
Love,
Sophia
I'm pretty sure the correct answer is A.) audiophile
The correct answer is D. Ad hominem
Explanation:
As other fallacies, Ad hominem fallacy implies a faulty reasoning or argument. in the case of Ad Hominem, this occurs because the speaker attacks his/her opponent traits, and does not provide any evidence to refute the opponent's argument.
This fallacy occurs in "Gracie is the worst class president ever. she doesn't even know how to dance" because the speaker does not explain why Gracie is not a good president, instead the speaker attacks Gracie by pointing out she does not know how to dance, which is not related to the Gracie being a bad president.
After a thorough research, there exists the same question that has the full passage.
<span>One might think that proud English writers would welcome a broader readership. However, quite the opposite happened. Though scholars agreed that English was a great language, many felt that it was in danger. According to some scholars, when poorly educated people read, wrote, and spoke, they corrupted the English language.
Today, if you do not know how to spell a word, you look it up in the dictionary. During the early eighteenth century, there were few dictionaries. Those that did exist were mainly collections of difficult words or translation dictionaries (Latin to English, for example). There was no authority on the"correct" way to use or spell words.

The line in the passage that explains why English scholars felt a dire need to set standards for the English language is this one "<span>According to some scholars, when poorly educated people read, wrote, and spoke, they corrupted the English language."</span>
