Passage C commits a fallacy but does not commit a fallacy of equivocation or amphiboly.

Passage E commits a fallacy and specifically commits a fallacy of amphiboly.
Explanation:
A fallacy is an argument that isn't sound because it has a faulty logic. There are many different types of fallacies. The fallacies dealt in our example here: fallacy of equivocation and fallacy of amphiboly both deal with fallacies stemming from ambiguity of words or sentences such that they can mean so many things at the same time. While fallacy of equivocation deals with fallacies resulting from ambiguity caused by use of a word that could mean so many things, fallacy of amphiboly deals with fallacies from ambiguity of phrases and sentences.
Answer:
The speaker describes the juggler as one who did incredible things, as a man who got tired and one who won the world's weight (last line of the last stanza).

We also discover that the juggler got tired as some point and the things he carried began to drop. At the end of the juggler's display, the speaker was among those who applauded him: "For him we batter our hands" (Line 29).
