Answer:

cynic - a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons.

This is a persuasive technique in which speaker mentions an important event or person to lend importance or credibility to his a
klemol [59]

Appeal to authority is a persuasive technique where the speaker relies on the credibility of another person or event to suport their own argument. It is often considered a fallacy because the speaker depends on the "authority"instead of presenting their own evidence.

Example:

"A commercial claims that <u>3 out of 4 dentists</u> would choose this particular brand of toothpaste for their own families to use."

In this statement, the dentists are the authority the argument depends on.
