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:
Telling the truth about something doesn't always resolve the problem, but is a great moral lesson in how you should take responsibility for your actions. If you've done something where you are at fault, the reality of it is that you're obligated to take the responsibility instead of blaming it on something or someone else. However, because you're at fault, taking the responsibility could create a harsher environment for yourself. Getting yelled at, losing a job, not being able to do what you wanted to do. This is why telling the truth can become an internal conflict. If I tell the truth, I would be doing the right thing; but I would also be putting myself in a position I don't want to be in.
Explanation:
Think about this and reflect on your own experiences; where whenever you've told the truth, you negatively impacted something or someone. Write your own essay.
