The death penalty is the punishment for murder. Just as we have long jail terms for armed robbery, assault and battery, fraud, c

ontempt of court, fines for speeding, reckless driving and other numerous traffic violations, so must we have a punishment for murder. Yes, the death penalty will not deter murders any more than a speeding ticket will deter violating speed laws again, but it is the punishment for such violation! fallacy

Answer:

False analogy.

Explanation:

False analogy can be defined as a type of fallacy in which comparison is made of two similar ideas but is not able to hold up the comparison. In simple terms, when two things, suppose X and Y are compared and they have A idea in common then it will be assumed that they will have B idea also in common which is a false fallacy.

<u>In the given case, it is an example of false fallacy or analogy as comparison is made between the crimes and punishment. The punishment for murder is the death penalty and long term jail for robbery, assault, etc and the argument is made that the punishment for murders should also be long term jail. But the conclusion is flawed</u>.

So, the correct answer is false analogy.

In "The Open Window", how does the description of Vera as self-possessed contribute to the reader's understanding of her charact
TEA [102]

Answer:

A. The reader learns that she is confident and composed which makes her appear credible.

Explanation:

Saki's short story "The Open Window" is about a character named Framton Nuttel who had gone to his new neighbor's house to be introduced. And while waiting for the lady of the house, he was told a rather ghastly story by the niece Vera, which was in fact, just a lie.

Through her narration of how her aunt keeps the window open in anticipation of the arrival of her husband and brothers from their hunting, Vera managed to 'horrify' Framton. So, when the hunting party arrived, Framton dashed out of the house, which Mrs. Sappleton admits <em>"One would think he had seen a ghost"</em>. And Vera's declaration of how it must have been the spaniel that led Mr. Framton rushing out of the house shows how self-possessed she is and also contributes to the reader's understanding of her character.  She finds joy in the scene and seems to be enjoying it. And <u>her confident and composed nature at the scene shows her self-possessed nature.</u>

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
