Housman is actually saying that, for the athlete, an early death is a positive thing.

His poem is similar to the idea that "it's better to burn out than fade away." Housman explains that, if the athlete were to live to an old age, he would live to see others beat his records (his eyes "cannot see the record cut") and live to see his renown (or fame, reputation) forgotten ("runners whom renown outran and the name died before the man").

By dying young, however, the athlete will be forever in his moment of glory. He won't be alive when someone inevitably beats his record. Housman is saying that disappointment and corruption (old age and decay) are inevitable, but by dying young, the athlete avoids experiencing disappointment and corruption.

Which argument is most clearly making an ad hominem fallacy?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

D. All I can say about my rival's idea is that he's a thief and he should be ignored.

Explanation:

Ad Hominem is a Latin word that means "against the man".

This particular fallacy of ad hominem is simply the act of going against sound logic when making an argument to make personal attacks on the speaker.

From the example above, there was a personal attack on the rival against his idea while bringing up the matter that he was a thief and should be ignored.

This is a very good example of Ad Hominem fallacy because he threw away sound logic while making his argument and instead chose personal attacks against his rival to score cheap points.
