Read this excerpt from Daisy Miller, in which Winterbourne tries to understand Daisy, and answer the question. Never, indeed, si

nce he had grown old enough to appreciate things, had he encountered a young American girl of so pronounced a type as this. Certainly she was very charming, but how deucedly sociable! Was she simply a pretty girl from New York State? Were they all like that, the pretty girls who had a good deal of gentlemen's society? Or was she also a designing, an audacious, an unscrupulous young person? In a 150 word response, give your opinion about whether Daisy was an innocent flirt or a manipulator who deliberately defied social norms.

I would argue that the character of the young Daisy Miller was an innocent flirt rather than a manipulator. She was full of life, of freedom, of sincerity, and of grace, and she was beautiful, carefree, charming, and certainly ahead of her time, but she was far from being a manipulator. She had "a great deal of gentlemen's society," as she herself pointed out, but she was unpretentious, "unsophisticated," and "completely uncultivated," as Winterbourne described her, so it is possible to say that she acted naturally, not in a manipulative way.  

This can also be confirmed in the passage that narrates the moment when they both met: "... (Daisy) was a coquette; he was sure she had a spirit of her own; but in her bright, sweet, superficial little visage there was no mockery, no irony." This, once again, indicates that she was honest and straightforward, and far from Machiavellian.

Explanation:

According to the given excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan llyich, the author talks about the life and death of Ivan Ilyich and how the falsity around him helped hasten his death.

The two sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan llyich that reflects the author's belief that Russia's rising middle class was unable to express genuine emotion are the statement that Ivan Ilyich would want to express emotions of sadness and crying but when his comrade came over, he would pretend and assume to be serious and unbothered, and the statement about the falsity around Ivan Ilyich poisoned hisast days.

Match the fallacy with its name.
allsm [11]

Answer:

Non sequitur.

Explanation:

Fallacy can be defined as a mistaken or false belief that are based on illogical arguments or reasoning.

However, a lot of people might actually think it to true but it isn't. There are various types of fallacy, these include;

black or white, non sequitur, ad hominem, bandwagon, appeal to authority, straw man, oversimplification/hasty generalization.

A non sequitur in Latin simply means that, "it does not follow." When a conclusion made doesn't tally or align with a previous statement (evidence), it is known as non sequitur.

Simply stated, a non sequitur refers to a statement that isn't logical.

Example of a non sequitur are;

"For a great night's sleep, buy a mattress from Mattress Warehouse. Our unique brand of mattress is the only mattress that Stephen King will buy for his home."

"I had dysentery last night after eating meat pie, pizzas are the best and tastiest."
