Answer:
- Ad hominem.
Explanation:
The fallacy is demonstrated as the error or flaw in reasoning that destructs the validity of a claim or argument. There are varied types of fallacies reflected in writing or employed by authors deliberately to create the desired effect(persuasion).
In the given statement, 'ad hominem' fallacy is exemplified as the original claim ('We need to take a strong stand against crime') is being avoided by proposing an attack on the character of the opposition ('our mayor is too busy tanning and going to concerts to address the problem'). Such fallacies are also described as the argumentative strategy in case of a lack of sufficient counterclaims. It intends to erode or undermine the validity of the actual claim. Thus, it exemplifies <u>'ad hominem'</u> fallacy.
Answer:
A. He uses the father's letter and dialogue to convey his disapproval of Nnaemeka's marriage.
Explanation:
Chinua Achebe's short story "Marriage is a Private Affair" revolves around the story of Nnaemeka and his "unaccepted" marriage to a woman outside of his tribe. The story delves into how tradition posed an obstacle to a marriage between two tribes, and how women are perceived to be in society.
When Nnaemeka informed his father about his marriage to Nene, his father was opposed to the idea of him marrying a woman outside of their Igbo tribe. Moreover, she was brought up in a cosmopolitan city and not 'fit' to be a traditional housewife. So, when he got the wedding picture, he cut off Nene from the photo and sent it back, replying with the words <em>"on further thought I decided just to cut off your wife and send it back to you because I have nothing to do with her. How I wish that I had nothing to do with you either."</em>
The author used the letter and the dialogues of Okeke to reveal his perspective of his son's marriage.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. We are supposed to fill in the blanks with the appropriate word or phrase:
Prices at the mall were outrageous,______, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.
A. or at least
B. in other words
C. not to say
Answer:
Prices at the mall were outrageous, A. or at least, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.
Explanation:
<u>"Or at least" is used when we add similar information to what has already been said, but not identical. It is as if we are rethinking what we said and specifying it better, being careful to not exaggerate. </u>
For example: "He hates ice cream, or at least I think he does, because he never has ice cream when he is with me." "Or at least" was used in the sentence to explain why I think he hates ice cream and to show that maybe the first piece of information was an exaggeration.
<u>This is the best phrase to use in the sentence given in the question. The speaker first says the prices are outrageous, be then he thinks again and uses "or at least" to show that the prices are higher than in other malls. Perhaps they were not outrageous after all.</u>
