edicine that have improved human health and dramatically extended the average lifespan during this century! Hume was simply wrong.Passage BMost people will tell you that it is important for kids to go to school. But those people are wrong. The dictionary
defines "kid" as denoting young goats. Surely, it is a bad idea to fill our schools with goats!Passage CThis newspaper headline says, "Earliest chocolate use has been found in what is now U.S." But that can't be true: The cacao plant isn't native to North America, whereas it has been grown and harvested in Central and South America for nearly 2,000 years. Surely, the earliest use of chocolate occurred somewhere south of what is now the U.S.Passage DMinneapolis is north of St. Louis, and New Orleans is south of St. Louis. Therefore, New Orleans is south of Minneapolis.Passage EPolice officers in this city swear an oath to "serve and protect" its citizens.

Answer:

Passage A commits a fallacy but does not commit a fallacy of equivocation or amphiboly.

Passage B commits a fallacy and specifically commits a fallacy of equivocation.

Passage C commits a fallacy but does not commit a fallacy of equivocation or amphiboly.

Passage D does not commit a fallacy

Passage E commits a fallacy and specifically commits a fallacy of amphiboly.

Explanation:

A fallacy is an argument that isn't sound because it has a faulty logic. There are many different types of fallacies. The fallacies dealt in our example here: fallacy of equivocation and fallacy of amphiboly both deal with fallacies stemming from ambiguity of words or sentences such that they can mean so many things at the same time. While fallacy of equivocation deals with fallacies resulting from ambiguity caused by use of a word that could mean so many things, fallacy of amphiboly deals with fallacies from ambiguity of phrases and sentences.

Answer: A. Someone's child had joined the military

Explanation: The "flag" is a great symbol of the military so it's a hard trick question, assuming that he is grown up by then by the lines "But his country called him man-size." Therefore he is still looked at as a kid they cared for which are his/hers parents.

aev [14]

Answer:

Macbeth had the following effects on others:

1. He makes his enemies to fear him. Among his enemies, he is seen as a ferocious enemy.

2. He makes his wife happy when he revealed the witches' predictions to her.

3. He moves King Duncan to praise him for his loyalty and fierceness in the battle.

The other characters behaved in the following ways:

1. King Duncan resulted to praising Macbeth for his loyalty and fierceness in battle.

2. The witches gave Macbeth the prediction and they were unmoved and unimpressed by him.

3. Lady Macbeth stirred and influenced Macbeth to carry out the murder.

Explanation:

"Macbeth" is one of William Shakespeare's playlet. It depicts the negative effects that come as a result of ambition and guilt. This shows how it affects a man without strength of character.

Macbeth is a story of a brave Scottish general, called Macbeth who was consumed by ambition to become the king after the witches gave him their prediction. He murders the king and takes over the throne. He ends up in guilt.
