Answer:

The fallacy found in the argument is:

e. slippery slope.

Explanation:

A fallacy is a flawed way of reasoning that ends up invalidating an argument. In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the type of fallacy used is called slippery slope.

Slippery slope is a reasoning that, from little evidence, develops a whole sequence of events that get more and more serious. It often ends with a catastrophic consequence. In this case, the speaker goes from a child wanting a slingshot to that child, in the future, owning several different types of heavy weapons.
