Question:
"<em>These natural laws are incontrovertible; . . . Those who resist them will be wiped out. Biology not only tells us about animals and plants, but also shows us the laws we must follow in our lives, and steels our wills to live and fight according to these laws. The meaning of all life is struggle.

<em>The excerpt above is an example of a false dilemma. Which of the following choices explains the logical fallacy in this excerpt, as well as the reason it fails to prove its point?"</em>
I think your answer would be:
- D. The excerpt contains no logical fallacies but uses true statements to persuade the audience of life’s common struggle.
Answer:
b. Interpreting
Explanation:
A play can be defined as a literary work that presents the dialogue between characters, as well as portrayal of fictional and non-fictional events in a theatre. A plot simply describes the order of events in a literary work such as a play.
In this scenario, Kristin is reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for class while taking note of the setting, especially the mountains.
Consequently, Kristin thinks about how mountains are set apart from the rest of society and begins to think about what impact this has on the literary work itself. Thus, we can safely deduce and conclude that Kristin is interpreting the book.

Twain accomplishes his purpose chiefly through telling a story within a story, also called a "frame story".
Adjective because the clause in parenthesis modifies the word picture.
Answer:
Yes, it is proportional.
Proportions Explained:
Draw 2 triangles, triangle ABC and triangle DEF. Label any 2 sides of triangle ABC as measuring 18" and 4". Label the 2 corresponding sides of triangle DEF as measuring 72" and 16".
When you see if 18/72 and 4/16 are proportional, you are seeing if triangle ABC and triangle DEF are similar. One way to do it is with proportions, which is the way we are doing it. When making proportions, you want to put corresponding sides into the same fraction. For example, let's say you labeled side AB as 18" and side BC as 4". In triangle DEF, let's say you labeled side DE as 72" and side EF as 16". When making proportions, you want to put the corresponding side lengths (AB and DE) into the same fraction. Second fraction, same way. Just remember that the second fraction has to correspond with the first fraction. If you put the side length of triangle ABC on top and the side length of triangle DEF on bottom, you need to do the same for the second fraction.
But, they did the previous steps and want you to do the rest:
Now you have two fractions: AB/DE and BC/EF, or 18/72 and 4/16. Fully reduce each fraction, and if they come out to the same fully reduced fraction, they are proportional and the two triangles are similar. 18/72 reduces to 1/4 and 4/16 reduced to 1/4. 1/4=1/4, so the final answer is yes.
