The correct answer is "Ad Hominem."

The statement, "Councilman Stewart's recommendations for a wind farm might work, but do you want to take advice from a man who was caught cheating on his wife?"<em> is an example of Ad Hominem fallacy.</em>

The Ad Hominem fallacy is when a person attacks another individual making an argument that is not true for the original reason they are arguing. The attack is completely different and irrelevant to the original argument. The Ad Hominem tries to deviate from the original argument, trying to bias the argument.

In the case of this question, the argument of "cheating his wife" has nothing to do with the professionalism or expertise of the person making recommendations on windmills.

What were some key events of the Holocaust?
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Holocaust took place in the broader context of World War II. On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. Over the next year, Nazi Germany and its allies conquered much of Europe. German officials confiscated Jewish property, in many places required Jews to wear identifying armbands, and established ghettos and forced-labor camps. In June 1941, Germany turned on its ally, the Soviet Union. Often drawing on local civilian and police support, Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units) followed the German army and carried out mass shootings as it advanced into Soviet lands. Gas vans also appeared on the eastern front in late fall 1941.
