Answer:

a). DOES

b). DOES NOT

Explanation:

A fallacy is the reasoning which is logically incorrect, it undermines the logical validity of the argument, and is also recognized as unsound. It is the use of the invalid reasoning or faulty reasoning in the construction of an argument.

In the context, it is given that every time the fire station's alarm rings, I understand that fire has broken out somewhere nearby. And if one needs to stop the risk of fire, then one should prohibit sounding the alarm of the fire station.

Thus this statement is the false reasoning and is logically incorrect. Sounding of the alarm does not causes the fire. So it does commit a fallacy and it does not commit an appeal to ignorance fallacy.

The correct answer is easy child.
No child is undemanding - parents have to be around their baby at all times, caring for it, and tending to its every need. But this child can easily adapt to anything, which is why she doesn't really take up a lot of her parents' time, and doesn't cause problems.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

It helps society and determines how people interact with each other on a daily basis. It's made learning more interactive and collaborative, this helps people better engage with the material that they are learning and have trouble with. But, as a disadvantage to tech, it distracts us. You could get stuck scrolling for hours when it feels like 10 minutes.
