Answer:

B) No fallacy.

Explanation:

In this example, the speaker is using the authority of Professor Stevens as a way to justify the claim he is making. This is an appeal to authority, and there is no consensus as to whether this is a valid claim or a fallacy. Some authors consider this a valid claim, as the authority is a legitimate expert in the subject. Other authors consider it a fallacy, and it receives the name of  <em>argumentum ad verecundiam</em>. This is based on the idea that even an expert can be wrong, and therefore, this is not an appropriate source of evidence.

Eighteen-year-old Alisha was driving through her neighborhood one afternoon and recognized six-year-old Timmy, a member of the C
Tcecarenko [31]

The correct answer is no.

Alisha was under no obligation to help Timmy, <em>there is no such thing like</em> <em>duty to rescue.</em> There is no legal requirement in the United States to help and rescue someone who is in danger. Even in extreme situation, when a person sees a person falling into a river for example, the witness of the situation is no obliged to assist with help.

There are some cases with some important exceptions: if the defendant created the peril he is obliged to come to the plaintiff's aid, if the defendant started to rescue the plaintiff, he must continue to do so, if the defendant is in a special relationship with the plaintiff ( teacher-student, worker-employer), he is under duty to rescue him.

Alisha was under no duty to inform Timmy's parents of the danger facing him <em>but she should have done it nevertheless.</em> She should at least have phoned them if she didn't have the time to stop by. She knew the boy well and she should have cared more. The need to help the boy should have come from her moral guidance and not as a sense of duty to be performed.
