Willy hopes that Biff will make something of himself, yet Biff drifts from job to job without any ambition in life. He used to work as a shipping clerk but he stole basketballs from his boss. He once spent three months in jail because he stole a suit. He failed Math so he did not graduate from high school. Now Biff works in cattle ranches and farms. At his age of 34 he should already have a wife and family and a steady job yet he just wanders from one place to another looking for jobs.
Answer:
C) It incorrectly assumes that popularity equates to moral correctness.
Explanation:
A fallacy is an argument that is not correct but that might persuade people to believe it by appearing to be a good reasoning. According to this, the reasoning is fallacious in this statement because it incorrectly assumes that popularity equates to moral correctness. This is the answer because the statement indicates that as the reality is popular, it is not corrosive and decadent and this is an invalid argument because if a program is popular, this doesn't mean that it is morally correct. However, this may be an argument that people might believe.
While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all of the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.
I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of "outsiders coming in"
I think the answer is freedom of religion. This was the reason that most colonies were established in America, and one of the main reasons the colonists had a revolution.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if I'm wrong. :)
