Logical fallacies are arguments in a statement that are usually not based on a critical logic/knowledge about a specific situation/topic/circumstance. They need to be avoided for making our statement rightly put out in front of others.
Explanation:
- “The government shouldn’t murder people who murder other people.” - here, the fallacy(mistake) is an opinion of a citizen or a layman cannot be considered as a law, unless and until conferred and studied upon when it involves political knowledge.
- “If you can’t prove that I am lying then I must be telling the truth.” - here, with a point of view or perspective of a person who believes in certain aspects of personality traits that show cannot be true every time.
- “My teacher didn’t take into account that I had a rough morning and that’s why I failed the exam. I should get another chance to take the test.” - here, again, when we look into a single student's excuse or reason, it is not right as per a teacher's guidelines. There are certain norms to be followed by every individual.
- “Every time I sit down on my couch to watch the game, my team wins. I have to watch the game on the couch for my team to win.” - here, it is a perspective versus reality scenario. It might have been true for more than twice, but it does not really make any sense or give us a guarantee.
- “Legalized abortion is a step to having an anti-life, murderous society.” - Here, it is an opinion of, may be, 40% of individuals around the world. It cannot be right only because few activists have taken these answers in to account.
- "If all of your friends jump off of a bridge, than will you jump off?” - here, it is a sarcastic approach over talking or communicating about the level of stupidity a person can act with but not a realistic argument.
Answer:
The correct response is Option C: The Danes offered sacrifices to pagan gods, in the hopes that the gods would save them from Grendel.
Explanation:
Beowulf is an Old English epic poem that was likely written between 975 and 1025, although the author is unknown. The tale is set in Scandinavia. The poem uses fictional inventions and legendary claims as well as historic elements that probably have some truth. The Danes make offerings at their pagan shrines in the hopes this will bring the wrath of the gods on Grendel the monster, but nothing happens. The Danes are terrorized for years by Grendel until Beowulf comes and performs heroically in helping the Danes but still dies in the end while fighting the dragon. It seems to be a commentary on warrior society not being enough to protect the everyday person from the terrors and unknowns of the world.
