The correct answer is D. Yes, because the claim is the same as its premise
Explanation:
Begging the question is a type of fallacy, this means the use of incorrect reasoning, in which the premise or argument is not supported but instead a conclusion is taken from the argument itself, this implies in begging the question the premise is assumed to be true and the conclusion derives from it, in this way the premise is used to support itself. In the case of " it's time to go to bed because it's bedtime" the premise is "it's time to go to bed" but there is no argument or reason to support the premise, but the premise itself is assumed as true "because it's bedtime" which leads to the argument and the conclusion being the same. This implies this is a begging question because the claim or conclusion is the same that the premise as the premise is assumed to be true by itself.
Answer:
Eveline Hill sits at a window in her home and looks out onto the street while fondly recalling her childhood, when she played with other children in a field now developed with new homes. Her thoughts turn to her sometimes abusive father with whom she lives, and to the prospect of freeing herself from her hard life juggling jobs as a shop worker and a nanny to support herself and her father. Eveline faces a difficult dilemma: remain at home like a dutiful daughter, or leave Dublin with her lover, Frank, who is a sailor. He wants her to marry him and live with him in Buenos Aires, and she has already agreed to leave with him in secret. As Eveline recalls, Frank's courtship of her was pleasant until her father began to voice his disapproval and bicker with Frank. After that, the two lovers met clandestinely. As Eveline reviews her decision to embark on a new life, she holds in her lap two letters, one to her father and one to her brother Harry. She begins to favor the sunnier memories of her old family life, when her mother was alive and her brother was living at home, and notes that she did promise her mother to dedicate herself to maintaining the home. She reasons that her life at home, cleaning and cooking, is hard but perhaps not the worst option her father is not always mean, after all. The sound of a street organ then reminds her of her mother's death, and her thoughts change course.
Explanation:
Among the given sentences above, the sentence that shows a correct pronoun-antecedent agreement is, "Every recruit must spit shine his or her boots for inspection." The correct answer is option D. The antecedent in this sentence is "every recruit" (singular), and the pronouns used to refer back to the antecedent are "hers" and "his". We used two pronouns here because the antecedent refers to recruits of the same sexes.
