Answer:

B. non sequitur

Explanation:

Logical fallacies are mistakes in the process of reasoning. Let's first define each of the given answers.

False dilemma is a fallacy where something is presented in only two opposing possibilities; there is no middle ground, everything is black or white, there is no grey.

Non sequitur is a fallacy where the conclusion doesn't follow from the premises; the premises may be true, but reaching the conclusion does not follow the logic.

False analogy is a claim that if two terms have one same feature, then they must be identical in other features as well.

Straw man is a fallacy used in arguments; basically if one takes an opponent's argument, modifies and exaggerates it and then attacks this modified argument, we call that a straw man fallacy.

So, now, with this in mind we could say that this was a non sequitur fallacy. Chine is in Asia and Raji is from Asia too, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he is from China.

Question 1:

Humorous passage 1: "It (the umbrella) was made to be carried on the arm like an enormous ornamental bat and to allow one the opportunity to put on British airs as the atmospheric conditions demanded."

Humorous passage 2: "(The umbrella is) An item to be carried in the street, to be used to startle friends and—in the worst of cases—to fend off one’s creditors."

Question 2:

Passage 1 is funny because it compares the umbrella to an ornamental bat, which sounds weird in the first place. Plus, the umbrellas is said to be used by people who want to seem British, which is even more outrageously funny.

Passage 2 is funny because it treats the umbrella as a scary object which can be used even to fend off people you owe money to, which is absurd.

In both passages, the author uses tone and voice in a very witty way: he speaks seriously about absurdity, about unimaginable stuff. It is like an encyclopedia of weird and fun facts. That is what makes it funny: the contrast between a serious tone and larger than life images.
