Answer:

- Point out that he has just experienced hindsight bias, a concept discovered by social psychologists.

Explanation:

As per the given description, the most appropriate response to the roommate would be 'pointing out that he has experienced hindsight bias.' The concept 'hindsight bias' has recently been discovered by the social psychologists in which an individual displays a tendency to perceive events as more predictable than they actually are. This similar tendency is being displayed by the roommate when he asserts that 'he could have predicted the finding even before hearing about it' which needs to be pointed out as it might lead to creating distortions in his memory.

. Read the following passage from "The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband."
Korvikt [17]
I believe the best answer for this is that the tailor's wife is irritated at the couple for disproving her theories. She is frustrated that she cannot figure out why they are a couple, and once she reaches an acceptable conclusion, it is disproven when Mrs. Tall becomes pregnant. This can only serve to exacerbate the tailor's wife's irritation and frustration. You can also determine that this is the answer through the process of elimination, as none of the other answers really seem suitable. I hope this helps.

Which of the following correctly describes an argument? 1) An emotional appeal based on ethics and credibility 2) A sentimental
LenaWriter [7]

The correct answer is 4) A logical appeal based on facts and reason.


An argument has to be based on facts which are correct - you shouldn't base your argument on incorrect information because then you will look stupid. Also, you should apply reason why forming an argument in order to make it sound sane and plausible for everyone to understand and perhaps agree with you.
