Answer:

Extravagant hypothesis.

Explanation:

Fallacies represent the error/flaw in reasoning that spoils the validity of the argument. An extravagant hypothesis is a kind of fallacy that occurs when an exaggerated or unlikely explanation or comparison is provided unnecessarily where a simpler or less elaborate description could work more efficiently. <em>Similarly, this example proposes an extravagant comparison(with 'aliens') that represents a flaw in logical reasoning(comparison here) </em>that neglects the effectiveness of the intended meaning. Thus, it exemplifies the 'extravagant hypothesis' fallacy.

Anyone wanna write a short expository paragraph about why turtles have shells?
castortr0y [4]
Shells evolved from ribs. ... Turtles and other shelled creatures use shells like shields to protect themselves from predators, or animals that hunt them. Turtles probably needed a shield on their backs and stomachs because they faced predators in the ocean from both above and below.

I am Lyosha [343]

Shakespeare's plays were so popular because they contained comedy and drama. The comedies were the things people enjoyed at the time, while the dramas were just dramas. The comedies were like modern movies, while the tragedies were more like dramas. Shakespeare always knew how to blend the serious play with the funny play. Without comedy, drama stays, without comedy-drama also remains. Shakespeare was also prolific in producing many plays and also wrote many famous sonnets.

Shakespeare never wrote for a specific society, as other playwrights did. Compared to other playwrights, Shakespeare had flaws.

The effectiveness as a playwright, as in why his plays were so popular, is because his plays contained a lot of messages in every play. The most famous, of course, was the message of being 'taught one's mind, speech and heart' (Othello Act IV, scene V, lines 57-57). Everybody has learned their lesson of why people are taught the mind, trust, and faith, speech and heart.

Shakespeare did not write for the time he lived in.
