Answer:

because the jury was racist

Explanation:

The jury’s decision to convict Tom Robinson for a crime he clearly did not commit plagues Jem as an intolerable miscarriage of justice. The most obvious reason justice isn’t served is because the jury’s overwhelming racism prevents Tom from getting a fair trial. Another reason the jury finds Tom guilty is that Mayella Ewell and her father Bob, both perjured themselves on the stand. In addition to the presumption of an impartial jury, the justice system operates on the assumption that witnesses will tell after being sworn to testify. But both Mayella and Bob lied rather than admit that Mayella tried to kiss Tom. Tom’s race, combined with the Ewells’ lies, proved enough for the racist jury to find Tom guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence of Tom’s innocence.

Which of these statements is an example the fallacious reasoning known as ad hominem?
serg [7]

Answer:

"Of course she is against vegetarianism. She married a farmer."

Explanation:

Fallacy can be defined as a mistaken or false belief that are based on illogical arguments or reasoning.

However, a lot of people might actually think it to be true but it isn't. There are various types of fallacy, these include;

I. Black or white.

II. Non sequitur.

III. Appeal to moderation.

IV. Bandwagon.

V. Appeal to authority.

VI. Straw man.

VII. Oversimplification or hasty generalization.

VIII. Appeal to ignorance.

IX. Appeal to pity.

X. Ad hominem.

Ad hominem can be defined as a type of fallacy in which the motive, character, or some other aspect of a person is attacked rather than his or her position.

This ultimately implies that, Ad hominem is typically based on prejudices, emotions, or feelings rather than appealing to reason, intellect or substance.

Hence, an example the fallacious reasoning known as ad hominem is "Of course she is against vegetarianism. She married a farmer."

We can see that the statement appeals to the marital status of the person instead of focusing on the issue of being a vegetarian i.e someone who doesn't consume animal flesh (meat) but vegetables or plants only.

What does this quote mean?
aev [14]

Answer:

Tools that are sharp (eg knives) get dull as you use them, but when you speak sharply (in a bitter or critical way) often, you overall tend to speak that way more. So, instead of getting less sharp, your tongue is getting sharper.
