Answer:
A. Non sequitur
Explanation:
Non Sequitur is a type of logical fallacy that forms a conclusion or response that is not logically connected to the previous statement.
From the example, <em><u>Ever since the new casino opened unemployment in this city has gotten out of control </u></em>, there is no logical connection between the increased unemployment in the city and the new casino.
There would have been a logical conclusion if the statement was written like this,
<em>People who are caught gambling are fired, so since the new casino opened, the unemployment in the city has gotten out of control.</em>
<em></em>
People who are caught gambling are fired is the premise and connects the next statements about unemployment rates increasing and the new casino in town.
Therefore, the logical fallacy that takes place is Non sequitur as it has no logical connection to the premise.
It sounds like the narrator could be the mother of the two girls based on how she was describing Maggie in the first paragraph. I hope this helps
I’m going to try to give this to you via comment section because it includes too many words.
(Now, this is something I pulled off the web. You could turn this in, but I don’t recommend that. Just read over this instead of the actual book if you don’t have enough time, and rewrite some of it in your own words, or rewrite it all yourself based on this.)
No one is gonna write a paper for you
