The type of special appeal the argument demonstrates is a): <u>false analogy</u>.

A false analogy is an informal fallacy, it applies to inductive arguments, like the one in this excerpt. It is an informal fallacy because the error is about what the argument is about, and not the argument itself.

The argument given by the opponent is a valid argument, but it is wrong in the context since the debate is focused specifically on the topic of whether new laws are needed to prevent distracted driving, not on every action that causes driving accidents. It would be valid in other debate, but not in this one, although the subject "driving accidents" is common on both.

What does the repetition of the word natural thought " how we ended world war one " emphasis
nasty-shy [4]
The repetition of 'how we ended world war one' emphasises the fact that they are probably proud of the actions they've done to end the war. They want to inform you that they did these specific things to prevent the war from going on. It's like a reminder to the reader that the people then did a lot.
