Circular reasoning. You can’t say someone’s a good cellist because they play the cello well.

Answer:

C.) Circular reasoning: An argument that supports a claim with the claim itself

Explanation:

With circular reasoning,  a person merely rephrases the conclusion, without proving anything.

You can't prove someone is a 'remarkable' cellist by saying the person is a 'marvelous' musician or 'splendid' performer.

The words 'remarkable',  'marvelous' and 'splendid' are synonyms.

If we could say that Grayson has won many contests as a cellist and performs with best orchestras of the world, that would definitely support the claim that 'Grayson stands out as a remarkable cellist.'

The way the sentence is written is a logical fallacy called 'circular reasoning'.

Identify the point of view in this paragraph: The dew on the grass made
Artemon [7]

I've looked this question up online. The options are simply:

a. First Person

b. Second Person

c. Third Person

Answer:

The point of view in this paragraph is:

a. First person.

Explanation:

The narrator of the excerpt is telling the story from a first-person point of view. The easiest way to confirm that is by taking a look at the pronouns used:

The dew on the grass made  my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my feet hitting  the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my breathing with the rhythm.

<u>First-person narrators use first-person pronouns such as "I" and "me". This type of narrator gives us his/her own perspective on things. That means we accompany this narrator throughout the story, see things from his perspective, and only get to know what he knows. One advantage of first-person point of view is that we get to dive deeper into the narrator's feelings and thoughts. One disadvantage is that he is a biased narrator, which makes him untrustworthy.</u>

Donald Trump. What are your thoughts on the former president of The United States?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

This really depends on the type of person you are talking to.

Explanation:

If you are asking for my opinion, I do not think he was that good of a president. I do not want to go into great detail about those certain actions but they are relevant. Again this depends on who you are asking. Hope this helped a bit.
