EXCERPT 1. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees recently interviewed 404 children who had arrived in the United Sta

tes from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico; 58 percent said their primary reason for leaving was violence. (A similar survey in 2006, of Central American children coming into Mexico, found that only 13 percent were fleeing violence.) They aren’t just going to the United States: Less conflicted countries in Central America had a 712 percent increase in asylum claims between 2008 and 2013.
EXCERPT 2. Enrique allows himself to doze only on trains farther north, where the gangsters no longer control the tops of the trains. There, he jams his body into the crevice on top of a hopper, next to the trapdoors used to fill the car. Or he waits until the train rounds a curve, giving him a good view of all of the cars. He spots a boxcar with its door open. When the train slows, he jumps off and races to the boxcar, jumping inside for a quick nap.

The option that best reflects the technique the author uses to support her purpose on each excerpt is number 2) “The first excerpt uses facts and statistics, and the second excerpt is told as a story.” In the 1st excerpt the author uses credible sources and statistics to show a reality of refugees in Central America and their reasons for asking for asylum. In except 2 on the other hand, the author narrates a story in the 3er person to illustrate violence, drug and social context of a boy.

Option 1 is incorrect since no narrative skills (1st excerpt) nor quotations are used (2nd excerpt).

Option 3 is also incorrect since text 1 focuses on statistics, not on emotions. And text 2 does not use long explanations.

And option 4 is wrong since no strong words are used in text 1 and the second text is told in the 3rd person point of view instead of first person.

Can someone tell me an example of an Ad Hominem Fallacy from 20 years ago?
andriy [413]

Answer:

An Ad Hominem fallacy is when someone personally attacks you to avert the audience from the real point.

Explanation:

<u>Example</u>:  Person 1 - <em>"We should raise the minimum wage!"</em>

                Person 2 - <em>"Oh please, don't listen to her, she's not even smart</em>

<em>                                    enough to run a business!"</em>

Person 1 attacked Person 2 without even saying why raising the minimum wage is a bad idea. Ad Hominem is when someone insults another person instead of giving reasoning to why their opinion/statement is a bad idea. They try and steer you away from the point so that you agree with them. Maybe Person 1 isn't smart enough to run a business, but maybe she has a good idea in why they should raise the minimum wage.
