Answer:

Ad Hominem

Explanation:

An ad hominem fallacy or argumentum ad hominem in full is fallacy that occurs when one attacks the character or circumstances of a person making an argument or statement instead of disproving the truth or the soundness of the statement or argument. This is exemplified in Karen's statement above where she mentions the occupation of the person making an argument instead of disproving his statement as false or truth.

Answer: Ad Hominem

Explanation: The use of invalid justification techniques in establishing basis for an argument is called fallacy. Therfore various types of fallacies can be identified. However, in the context above, Karen's response highlights a fallacy tagged 'Ad Hominem' which is committed when an argument deviates from the topic of discourse and focuses on the personality or motive of the speaker. Karen's response should have been a reply centered on addressing that point raised by the player without bringing the personality or supposed motive into the discussion by expressly alleging that the player's demand or view was borne out of being self-centered.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

A. your belief remains intact even in the face of evidence to the contrary

Explanation:

On average, people will perceive new information by fitting it to the current perspective that they already hold, not the other way around.

Belief perseverance occurs when the new information contradict the perspective that they've held for a long time. So, rather than acknowledging that they're wrong this whole time, people will start to held on to that belief even stronger and told themselves that the contradicting evidence is a lie.

How are countries in the European union linked
jeka57 [31]
The EU is a political and economic union of 28 countries, which developed an internal single market through a standardised system of laws. Politically, these 28 countries are linked by the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the European Council (the last two have similar names, but they have different functionalities). Economically, by the ECB - the European Central Bank. Monetarily, by the Eurozone and the currency EURO, which is present in 19/28 countries. Also, there's a Schengen area, where passports are abolished and you can travel freely, BUT not all the countries that are in the EU, are in Schengen area (ex. Romania, Bulgaria); and vice-versa: Norway is not in the EU, but is part of the Schengen area.

I hope I helped, I used to have a "map" of interactions of all these countries in different unions/institutions, but cannot find it. If you need one to help you understand the EU better, tell me and I'll intensively look for it! 

Update: here's the map.
