Appeal to authority

Explanation:

A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning.

The type of a logical fallacy found in the given passage is called the appeal to authority (or argumentum ad verecundiam). It occurs when a person claims that something is true (or untrue) simply because a valid authority or expert on the issue said so.

Here, the authority in question is a highly respected local doctor. According to the speaker, we should agree with him only because he is one of the smartest and most prominent citizens. There are no legitimate arguments in favor of the mentioned candidate for mayor.

Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield,

Agata [3.3K]

A. The details about farming are rooted in the period, while the theme that hard work brings satisfaction can be applied to any period.

There are tools mentioned in the poem, for example a sickle (a blade used for cutting down crops) and a team of oxen to pull the plow, that are not often used today since more modern technology has made farming easier. The idea that if you work hard you'll feel good about what you've achieved still holds true today though!

Read the sentence below. Identify the progressive or emphatic verb tense that is used in the sentence.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Past perfect progressive

Explanation:

The past perfect continuous tense (also known as the past perfect progressive tense) shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the past. The past perfect progressive tense is constructed using: had been + the verb's present participle (root + -ing).

So the general form of past perfect progressive/continuous is:

Had +been+ verb +ing.
