Identify which logical fallacy takes place in the example.

English
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. Non sequitur

Explanation:

Non Sequitur is a type of logical fallacy that forms a conclusion or response that is not logically connected to the previous statement.

From the example, <em><u>Ever since the new casino opened unemployment in this city has gotten out of control </u></em>, there is no logical connection between the increased unemployment in the city and the new casino.

There would have been a logical conclusion if the statement was written like this,

<em>People who are caught gambling are fired, so since the new casino opened, the unemployment in the city has gotten out of control.</em>

<em></em>

People who are caught gambling are fired is the premise and connects the next statements about unemployment rates increasing and the new casino in town.

Therefore, the logical fallacy that takes place is Non sequitur as it has no logical connection to the premise.

A compound is found to contain 9.227 % boron and 90.77 % chlorine by mass. What is the empirical formula for this compound?

Boron: 9.224% --> .09224 (convert percent to decimals)

.09224*100g = 9.224g Boron (theoretical amt)

9.224g* 1mol/10.81g (molar mass Boron) = .8533 moles Boron

If Teresa's daughter is my daughter's mother, what am I to Teresa?
jolli1 [7]
What is your gender?


let's first look at the case where you are female:

 
my daughter's mother would then be... just you.

so then you are Theresa's daugher!


if you are male then

your daughter's mother is your wife (let's assume for now)

so Theresa's daughter is your wife,
and Theresa is your mother-in-law and you are her son-in-law.

This is all assuming the "traditional family"; in a non-traditional family you would just be the father of her grandchild, nothing else, and probably she would refer to you just with a name..

Which word or words and punctuation corrects any errors in the sentence?
Lunna [17]
The words and punctuation that best corrects any errors in the sentence is option A. well-known. The word well-known should have the punctuation mark hyphen because it is a compound word. Compound words are words that consist of two or more words linked together by a hyphen, in order to create a new word with a new meaning. The word "well-known" means famous.
