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.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

1 pound and 28 crowns is equivalent to 7 dollars.

Explanation:

Let the dollars be x , crowns be y and pound be z.

To find = 1z + 28y = ? (value in dollars)

5 dollars and 35 crowns is equivalent to 7 pounds

5x+35y=7z...[1]

z=\frac{5}{7}x+5y

4 dollars and 4 pounds is equivalent to 56 crowns

4x+4z=56y

x+z=14y...[2]

Using value of from [1] here in [2]:

x+\frac{5}{7}x+5y=14y

\frac{12}{7}x=9y

y=\frac{4}{21}x

Now:

z=\frac{5}{7}x+5y

z=\frac{5}{7}x+5\times\frac{4}{21}x

z=\frac{35}{21}x=\frac{5}{3}x

1z + 28y = ?

\frac{5}{3}x+28\times \frac{4}{21}x

=\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{16}{3}x=7x

1 pound and 28 crowns is equivalent to 7 dollars.
