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.

Answer:

D) The moral of the story

Explanation:

The theme of the story is what it's all about, or its ending message. It's not about the setting, characters, or events.
