Hello. Unfortunately, you did not submit the introduction to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
An introduction is the first paragraph of a text. This paragraph has the function of presenting the main elements that will be worked on throughout the text. In that case, you should read all the text the question refers to. This reading will make you understand the text and thus know what should be presented in the introduction. After that, you should see which of the answer options would be able to improve this presentation. If we analyze the context that each answer option provides, we can consider that the first one is the correct answer, but it will only be possible to determine this by reading the text.
I believe the answer is: “It is better that a few should perish than that the whole city should be destroyed,”
Pay attention to this line:
"<em>what have we done that you should wish thus to destroy us from the earth?"</em>
At this point, we can infer that the King hasn't fully made up his mind on whether he should destroy them or not.
When the elders reply with this line:
<em>“It is better that a few should perish than that the whole city should be destroyed,” </em>
The elders basically advance the plot by convincing the king that the act of destroying some of His people is correct.
In this passage from "Animal Farm", by George Orwell, the social insight that the author develops is corrupt leaders use propaganda to push their agendas.
Propaganda is the spreading of rumors and true, false or incomplete information to influence public opinion. In this passage, we learn that “Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons . . . to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms . . . and teach them the tune of ‘Beasts of England'" a way to use propaganda to push their agendas. Propaganda, together with the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
Fallacies are common errors in reasoning that will undermine the logic of your argument. Fallacies can be either illegitimate arguments or irrelevant points, and are often identified because they lack evidence that supports their claim. Avoid these common fallacies in your own arguments and watch for them in the arguments of others.
“I drank bottled water and now I am sick. The water must have made me sick” (post hoc ergo proctor hoc)
“People who don’t support the increase of state minimum wage hate the poor” (straw man)
“If we ban hummers because they’re bad for the environment, then eventually we’ll ban all cars. So we shouldn’t ban hummers.” (Slippery slope)
Either/Or. an example can be “we can either stop using cars or we can destroy the earth” this is a fallacy because it is making assumptions and over exaggerating. It is also assuming cars are the only problem destroying the earth, which is incorrect.
