Scrat [10]

Answer:

D).  A shoplifter like you could never have a wise opinion.

Explanation:

Non Sequitur fallacy is elucidated as the fallacy in which the conclusion is not logically supported by its premises. It makes the argument flawed and affects the validity of the argument.

The last argument involves a non sequitur fallacy as the conclusion 'you could  never have a wise opinion' does not follow the premises 'a shopkeeper like you.'  <u>The reason fails to justify the conclusion logically which makes the argument flawed and affects its validity</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
