First we have to understand that the logical fallacy of ad hominem is an attack to someone’s character. An example is when you are having an argument you attack someone by commenting against them undermining his or her arguments.



In his case excerpts number two and three are close but I would say that:

#3: More than likely, all they are concerned with is their selfish desire for pure silence and 8:00 P.M. bedtimes.

Answer:

3.

Explanation:

The last sentence is "Because there are so many benefits to a vegetarian diet, it is worth it is worth it to at least try eating more vegetarian meals to see if it works best for you."

is the correct answer.

How do the images of travel in part 46 of "Song of Myself" contribute to the poem’s theme?
White raven [17]

D. They suggest expansiveness, or extending one's reach outward.

Throughout part 46, Whitman explains that a person's journey is his own, but it must extend beyond what the person currently knows. He compares needing to extend oneself to kicking them out of the comfort or their house or sending them off the plank into the water to swim. He introduces this idea of extending one's reach when he says "we but level that lift to pass and continue beyond."
