Answer:

D) Circular reasoning

Explanation:

Circular reasoning is a type of fallacy in which person starts an argument with what they are trying to end. In other words the start and end of the reason argument is the same.

In this statement reader expects that they statement should end somewhat like this, "giving students more days to study on their own and still spend some time with family" etc. But the statement ends on from where it started i.e. closing schools on Mondays or Fridays (in addition to usual Saturdays and Sundays) making it a three-day weekend.

Another example of circular reasoning can be "he was sick because he had temperature".

Bandwagon fallacy is an assumption that something is valid because majority of the people think so.

Example: Investing in stock exchange is beneficial because everyone thinks so.

Ad Hominem fallacy is attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is about to give some argument.

Example: Don't believe him, he is a liar"

False causation fallacy means assuming an event to be the cause of some other even just because one occurred after the other.

Example:

Last Sunday, I invited Joseph and it rained; now I will never invite him on Sundays.

Which epic characteristic is represented by the opening lines of the Iliad by Homer?
telo118 [61]

An epic simile is basically a regular simile, but it takes place over the course of several lines in poetry. There is no evidence in the excerpt provided that the correct answer could be a simile, so we’ll rule that option out.


The phrase starting in medias generally means that it’s a somewhat introduction. It can often introduce the story in the beginning, or be a great start if you want to start your story with a flashback. I’d say this is a good answer for the question, but just in case there’s a better one let’s go over the other options as well.


To invoke the muse would be to get inspiration for whatever it is you’re going to start doing. For example, let’s say you’re writing a story, and you have no ‘muse.’ Here you’d ‘pray to the muse gods’ to give you muse, or in another word, inspiration. This is clearly not the answer because the passage is not invoking any muse. They clearly already know which direction they’re taking with the story.


And finally, the use of epithets would be to specifically describing something and/ or someone. Sure, this passage caries descriptive detail, but that’s not its primary focus.


In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is b ) starting in medias res .
