The correct answer is Post Hoc Fallacy
Explanation:
In this situation, the speaker believes the victory of the team is caused by the action of drinking the red power juice simply because drinking this juice occurs before the team wins. This is a fallacy because an event preceding another does not mean one event causes the other. Indeed, it is likely in this case the victories are related to factors such as training, strategy, etc. rather than the red juice. Moreover, this fallacy is formally known as the Post Hoc Fallacy, which is the Latin term for "after this" as one event follows another and this is claimed to be the cause.
Answer:
a. she decides she'll coach raymond
Explanation:
The underlined participial phrase which is "continuing to stir the soup", is placed incorrectly. The correct sentence should be, "The phone rang and my mother, continuing to stir the soup, answered it". Why is it misplaced? Putting the participial phrase at the beginning of the sentence makes it a dangling modifier because it does not clearly state the specific word it modifies. In the corrected sentence, it is clear now who is being described with the phrase "continuing to stir the soup", which is the "mother".
Answer:
B. She wanted to continue teaching her student, Don, who was sent to a super max unit.
Explanation:
Professor Laura Bates was a professor teaching William Shakespeare to prisoners who wanted to get a degree. But the disappearance of one of her students led her to the super-max unit, where she began a new phase of teaching, which is what her book <em>"Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years in Solitary with the Bard." </em>is based on.
Laura, in conversation with NPR's Michel Martin, revealed that she came across the super-max unit by chance. One of her prisoner students, Don, was missing from class, leading Laura to ask around. When she was told that Don had been shifted to the super-max unit where there is no education, she immediately took it upon herself to try to teach the inmates about Shakespeare. And that was why she decided to teach the maximum-security prisoners.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
