English

Answer:

D. All I can say about my rival's idea is that he's a thief and he should be ignored.

Explanation:

Ad Hominem is a Latin word that means "against the man".

This particular fallacy of ad hominem is simply the act of going against sound logic when making an argument to make personal attacks on the speaker.

From the example above, there was a personal attack on the rival against his idea while bringing up the matter that he was a thief and should be ignored.

This is a very good example of Ad Hominem fallacy because he threw away sound logic while making his argument and instead chose personal attacks against his rival to score cheap points.

Create a sentence using the given words, phrases and conjunctions.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

1. There are corona virus protocols to keep us safe, but they are not followed by many people.

2. A lot of people do not follow protocols nor stay at home to prevent being infected by the virus.

3. We should wear masks and wash our hands to prevent the virus from spreading.

4. We must remember to cover our mouth every time we cough and sneeze.

5. We can go outside only if there are essential activities to be done, such as grocery shopping or going to the pharmacy.

Explanation:

A conjunction is a word used to connect two clauses or words in a sentence. Conjunctions help establish a relationship between the elements they connect.

Let's take sentence 1 as an example. When we use the conjunction "but", we convey a contrast. The clause introduced by it expresses something that contradicts the idea expressed by the other clause. Another example would be:

"I like him, but I don't talk to him."

Normally, when we like someone, we talk to them. Thus, "but" indicates contrast between the two ideas in the sentence.
