The correct option is C: Slippery slope. This type of fallacy suggests that a certain or certain events will take place with no real or sufficient evidence to prove so. This is the case, especially with events that seem unlikely to happen given the circumstances. In this example, the reasoning goes like this: if Quentin fails to pass his math test, as a consequence, he will lose the opportunity of going to college and he will have to live in his parent’s basement for the rest of his life. However, the fact that he does not pass this test is not enough evidence that those two situations will actually take place. For example, Quentin may take the test again and try passing it, or if he eventually cannot enter college, he can look for a job that is profitable and that will allow him to become independent and move from his parent’s house, etc.

How do you evaluate human sensibility towards the non human in the poem parrot in the cage?

Kobotan [32]

The poem parrot in the cage......
The historico-political interpretation alludes to the Nepali society under the autocraticRanarchy in Lekh Nath’s time. In this line, Dayaram Shrestha argues that the poem “sketches arealistic picture of Nepali political environment during the rule of Ranas” (63). Shrestha furtherclaims that the thematic value of this poem lies in its “portrayal of the age” (64). In this sense,both the “cage” and the “parrot” respectively symbolize the Rana regime, which had seizedpeople’s freedom, and the Nepali people who desired freedom.The textual readings examine discernible universal elements in the poem: both itscommon themes and formal features. Thakur Parajuli represents its universal messages with suchconcepts as “faith in human liberty,”
