Read the two passages. Passage 1 Many people think that standardized testing is unnecessary; however, standardized testing is th
e only way to measure student achievement. Viewing student testing only from a student’s perspective is missing the point. If we think of it in practical terms, we can see that testing students gives us a baseline to assist those students in their areas of greatest need. Without standardized testing, that assistance would not be possible. Passage 2 Students experience anxiety during standardized testing. Everyone knows this, and everyone should realize that no child deserves to feel unnecessary stress. Imagine one of your own children suffering through the rigors of a week—or more—of testing. Imagine that anxiety, even though there were clearly alternatives available to avoid it. This is just one of the many reasons to eliminate standardized testing in our schools. How do the fallacies in the first passage differ from the fallacies in the second? Passage 1 contains an ad hominem attack, while passage 2 contains a false dilemma. Passage 1 contains a false dilemma, while passage 2 contains a bandwagon appeal. Passage 1 contains a bandwagon appeal, while passage 2 contains an appeal to emotion. Passage 1 contains an appeal to emotion, while passage 2 contains an ad hominem attack.
The answer is B: passagem 1 contains a false dilemma, while passage 2 contains a bandwagon.
False dilemma limits the the options to when there might be more options. Example: (Passge 1: "however, standardized testing is the only way to measure student achievement")
Bandwagon appeal leads the reader to decide in favor of what most people agree. Example:(Passage 2: "Everyone knows this, and everyone should realize...")
They usually bow to their elders. Japanese people call others with their last name. In contrary, close female Filipino friends may hug and kiss when they greet while close male friends may hug and tap each other's back or just by a handshake. They don't bow when they greet someone.
The correct answer is <em>Malala was right about the edict and what it meant</em> AND<em> She was a global symbol of girls’ rights but also just a kid.</em>
"like a sunbeam" - it is used to give deeper meaning and description to what her face looks like in person so the reader can feel as if they are standing in front of her seeing that face.
