How does the author best develop the central idea of the text "Show Me the Evidence"?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

C. by citing examples of Anas's evidence of corruption that led to companies and government agencies being held accountable.

Explanation:

"Anas Aremeyaw Anas" is an investigative journalist from Ghana. He primarily focuses his documentaries and print media regarding anti-corruption as well as human rights.

The central idea of the text, "Show Me the Evidence," best develops the author's idea by citing examples of Anas's evidence of corruption that led to companies and government agencies being held accountable. For example, he exposed the corruption of the officials of Ghana's passport agency in 2006. Non-citizens were given passports for a certain fee. In order to do this, he needed to pose as a rich businessman so he could fulfill his mission of showing how corrupt the officials were and this was the evidence.

So, this explains the answer.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Identify the logical fallacy demonstrated in each excerpt. false dile
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<u>false dilemma: </u>Increasing our city's debt to improve our roads is better than letting all our cars be destroyed because of all the pot holes.

<u>false analogy:</u>  Driving to work instead of using public transportation is like not eating everything on your plate. It wastes valuable resources.

<u>ad hominem: </u>Our current mayor has been in politics for over 25 years. It is time that we have a younger mayor, so we can have fresh ideas to make our city better.

<u>red herring:</u> It is true that the city council did approve a tax for a new road construction project. However, our city needs to attract more businesses to stabilize our economy.

Explanation:

False dilemma occurs when the listener is asked to pick between two options as if no other one was available, when this is not the case. In this example, the author claims that debt or the destruction of all cars are the only options, when this is most likely not the case.

A false analogy occurs when two things are compared, but do not in fact share as many qualities as the author would want the audience to think. This is the case between the use of public transportation and eating everything on your plate.

Ad hominem is an overgeneralization. It occurs when an author implies that all things being discussed are the same, without significant evidence. In this case, the author implies that all young people have fresh ideas, and that all are more desirable than old people.

A red herring fallacy occurs when an author distracts the audience by introducing a completely separate and independent idea that is not related to the rest of the argument. In this case, the tax approved and the need for business are not related. The second topic is used as a distraction.
