Mother Tongue Text- based questions: At several points in her essay, Tan relates anecdotes (brief stories to illustrate a point)
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Tan’s anecdotes further her argument because they make the points in her argument personal. Which appeals to readers with a personal story of how the use of English can determine how someone is seen or treated. The anecdotes in this story make the reader feel sympathetic for Tan’s mother and the way she was treated because of her use of “broken” english.

Which type of logical fallacy is this an example of?
DaniilM [7]

The correct answer is D. Ad hominem

Explanation:

As other fallacies, Ad hominem fallacy implies a faulty reasoning or argument. in the case of Ad Hominem, this occurs because the speaker attacks his/her opponent traits, and does not provide any evidence to refute the opponent's argument.

This fallacy occurs in "Gracie is the worst class president ever. she doesn't even know how to dance" because the speaker does not explain why Gracie is not a good president, instead the speaker attacks Gracie by pointing out she does not know how to dance, which is not related to the Gracie being a bad president.
