Answer:

<h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the sale of his video footage. </h3><h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the magic goldfish. </h3><h3>The motif of wishing for the goldfish was through the final wish. </h3>

Explanation:  

In the story "What, Of this Goldfish, Would you wish?", the motif of wishing for Yoni was through his innocent yet ambitious dream of selling his video footage to companies. "With a little decent footage, he was sure he’d be able to sell it to Channel 8 or  Discovery in a flash,".

For Sergei, the motif of wishing was through the magic goldfish. Through this line ‘‘I’m a magic fish. I’m fluent in everything:”, we can see that the goldfish had the magic to grant Sergei with wishes.

The motif of wishing for the goldfish was that once he granted three wishes to Sergei, he would have his freedom. The lines "After the last wish, Sergei won’t have a choice. He’ll have to let the goldfish go. His magic goldfish. His friend."

There is no similarity in the wishes of these three characters. Yoni wanted success and wealth, Sergei wanted companionship and someone to talk to and the goldfish wanted freedom.

Answer:

The last one "When students perform poorly test after test after test, not being able to gain acceptance into a college of their dreams or graduate from high school (and so on i'm sorry i'm too lazy to write the whole thing.)

Explanation:

A slippery slope argument involves an acceptance of a succession of events without direct evidence that this course of events will happen.

Basically in the one I put the author tries to say that any kid that fails their tests and isn't accepted to their dream college etc will drop out and suffer from low self esteem but he shows no direct evidence to prove this.
