Answer:
Because people did not know that yellow fever was caused by the bite of an infected mosquito, they assumed incorrectly that people could catch the disease through touch.

Explanation:
The bandwagon fallacy is in the insistence that good cities are good because they have rail.
Explanation:
The bandwagon fallacy is where the causation of something is confused as an effect.<u> It is the argument that because all the great cities of the country have light rail, our city too should have the same light rail system to be as good as them.</u>
This argument falls apart because the rail will not curb the problems that the passage itself talks about and then willfully ignores. I<u>n fact, bringing the rail to town will actually aggravate some of the issues mentioned here</u>. Which is why the argument becomes more weak.
Answer:
A). Metaphors fail when they have been used so often that readers gain nothing new from them.
Explanation:
Metaphors are demonstrated as one of the most commonly employed literary devices that involve an implicit comparison between two distinct things sharing common characteristics. For example, she is the moon(girl and moon are completely distinct from each other but share the common characteristic of bringing light in the darkness).
As per the question, metaphor fails 'when they are employed so often that the readers gain nothing new from them.' Metaphors are primarily employed to offer <u>an implicit or symbolic comparison that not only helps the reader transform their understanding but also artistically provides them 'an intrinsic pleasure and transcend the boundaries of literal meaning.' But if they are used so frequently that readers stop gaining that pleasure, experience, and understanding metaphors fail</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Giving inanimate objects life like things . such as saying "the tree spoke to me"
