Answer:

Bandwagon fallacy

Explanation:

Bill: Today, the reading culture that makes people smart is being eroded and I believe that this is caused by so many distractions in the world today.

John: I do not totally agree with you, Bill. The advent of social media, telephones, televisions might have reduced the number of people reading books, but these other sources can serve the purpose of books.

Bill: How do you mean?

John: Well, books are sources of information and so are televisions, social media, and phones. <u>Besides, professors, scientists, and other learned people watch televisions most of the time and that has not reduced their intelligence or smartness.</u>

<u />

Bandwagon fallacy appeals to the fact that many people do a particular thing in order to validate such act. In the conversation above, John appeals to the fact that learned people also watch televisions and that has not affected their smartness.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

It's the last one. "Propaganda convinces people to reconsider their beliefs and actions."

Explanation:

Propaganda typically is about trying to convince others (through signs, texts, etc...) that a certain side is wrong. It's normally more harmful and made-up than helpful.

djyliett [7]
I think that the central idea conveyed in the above excerpt is that the United States is willing to extend help to nations that are under communism. They are willing to extend help through financial aid and economic stability to ensure that the people under the beleaguered nations can also enjoy the freedom that citizens of the United States enjoy under a democratic government. However, the citizens of the United States must also be in agreement to the proposal of extending help to other nations.

Truman uses Logos and Pathos to persuade his audience to his way of thinking. 

Logos refers to logic. Pathos refers to an appeal to emotions.

He uses the words "I believe..." to infer how passionate he is about his proposals. He also gives logical scenarios that supports his beliefs.
