<span>The writing is choppy.

In an argument, a logical fallacy is a wrong or misleading statement about what?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Logical fallacies are arguments that may sound convincing, but are based on faulty logic and are therefore invalid. They may result from innocent errors in reasoning, or be used deliberately to mislead others. Taking logical fallacies at face value can lead you to make poor decisions based on unsound arguments.

Wittaler [7]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Dr. Dowell says that we need to be prepared for a pandemic. He thinks every nation should have an emergency  plan. More medications like Tamiflu should be available. He thinks rich countries like the U.S. should help poor  countries pay for medicine and health care.

Why does the author most likely include this information at the end of the text instead of at the beginning?

A. because it draws a conclusion based on the evidence presented throughout the text

B. because it offers new evidence that is meant to help readers better understand the text

C. because it poses new questions for readers to think about now that they have read the text

D. because it offers supplemental information that readers can compare to evidence presented in the text

Answer:

The author includes this information at the end of the text:

A. because it draws a conclusion based on the evidence presented throughout the text .

Explanation:

After discussing and presenting evidence throughout the text, author John DiConsiglio is now ready to conclude it. What he presents at the end cannot be new evidence or supplemental information, for that would not be a conclusion at all. He is also not presenting questions - he is making statements. Those statements are based on the information presented previously, supported by it. What the author wants now is to show how important that information was and how we can use it to be prepared for future cases of the disease.

What is wrong with this sentence<br> WE OFFER LOW PRICES EVERYDAY
myrzilka [38]

Explanation:

The error is in the last word.

Everyday is an adjective. In other words, it is used to add a characteristic to something. Generally, everyday is used to define something that you see every day. In other words, something typical, mundane, or common.

Every day, on the other hand is a phrase that means "each day" or "all days" depending on the context.

Answer:

The phrase should be written like this:

WE OFFER LOW PRICES EVERY DAY

(We offer low prices every day)
