Answer: The speaker uses an ad hominem argument by attacking an opponent's honesty

Answer:

The speaker uses an ad hominem argument by attacking an opponent’s honesty.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • The speaker uses anecdotal evidence with phrases like “eating nice dinners.”
  • The speaker uses a bandwagon statement by complaining that other nations prosper.
  • The speaker uses an ad hominem argument by attacking an opponent’s honesty.
  • The speaker uses a false dilemma by claiming to have a plan while an opponent does not.

In this example, the speaker uses an ad hominem fallacy. This is a fallacious argument in which the person avoids discussing the subject at hand and instead attacks the characteristics, principles, tastes or values of the person making the argument. In this example, the speaker does not talk about the opposition's policies. Instead, he only focuses on the fact that she likes "nice dinners."

In which poem does the speaker use an extended metaphor to describe the cycle of peoples lives
EleoNora [17]

The right answer is: Keats "the human seasons". In this poem, he speaks of the different emotions of a man. He runs through each by stating how we act. For spring, we have lust. For summer, we take in the beauty of spring and become youthful, we dream of our futures. For fall, we are content with ourselves and how things are. For winter, we show our mortality and have misfortunes.

Think about something you did not try because you were fearful of making a mistake or failing.
amid [387]

How does the point of view contribute to how the events are described in the passage? It is about the worst birthday from Harry
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: The point of view contributes to how the events are described in the passage because in Harry Potter's point of view, his twelfth birthday was the worse.

Explanation:

For his twelfth birthday, Harry Potter had to stay upstairs in his room making absolutely no noise whatsoever and pretending he didn't exist. He couldn't even use Hedwig, his owl, to send messages to his friends Hermione and Ron because she was locked up by Uncle Vernon. In addition to this, he met Dobby, the house elf, who was on his bed. Dobby ruined Petunia's sumptuous pudding by making it crash to the ground. This (and the owl) causes the Masons, Uncle Vernon's guests, to leave the house. Point of view contributes to these events because in Harry's opinion, being stuck in his room with no form of communication is the worst way to spend his birthday. He thinks he should be spending it by going out with his friends or socializing.
