Answer:

(a)Even before the sun rises and warms the sea, there are men at work, braving the elements. The fishermen — depending on whether the type of catch they want — set out in the middle of the night or very early in the morning. To catch fish with metal hooks suspended by nylon threads is what takes the longest, and this sees them travelling deep into the sea. But to get a catch using their nets they don't have to travel far. A ride in their motorised boats before sunrise will do. But there are also times when they go deep sea fishing in large boats stocked with food and water to help them survive 10 days at sea.

Once they are back in the morning, the boat is hauled to shore by the fishermen, who venture out in groups of four, sharing the burden, cost, profits and losses alike. There are days when they are blessed with plenty, but on other days they return empty-handed, with a loss of about Rs. 400 that they spend on diesel to fuel the motors.

The catch is removed from the nets and sorted according to the type — crabs, Red Snapper, Blue Fish, Butter Fish, Cat Fish, Mullet, Smelt, Salmon and more. The fishermen need to invest in 10 different types of nets depending on what they plan to catch, with the most expensive net costing around Rs.1 lakh, and each weighing between five kilos and 400 kilos.

Once sorted, the fishermen's wives sell the fish in the market. Fishermen also sell to vendors depending on the best price offered and the vendors in turn sell them at the market.

In the evenings, the fishermen are free to relax, watch TV, spend time with family and catch up on gossip over mending nets and preparing for the next day.

While it is a profession filled with uncertainty, also uncertain is the future of this profession. Many fishermen send their children to school and want them to hold other jobs in fields like software and teaching. They say that they do not want their children to struggle as they do and want a better life for them, leaving the future of this sea-dependent occupation in question.

What are Logical Fallacies<br><br><br> in your own words. don't lookup google definition
quester [9]

Answer:

A logical fallacy is a mistaken belief to the effect that inferences having a certain structure are valid. Put another way,  a logical fallacy is a belief in the legitimacy of what is in fact an illegitimate rule of inference.  As the examples below indicate, logical fallacies are sometimes a reflection of mere prejudice and in other cases they embody actual ratiocinative  shortcomings.

Explanation:

Here are some examples:

(1) People will often accept what people in authority, even if the data clearly indicates that they're wrong. If an economist from Harvard weighs in on an issue and homeless person weighs in on that same issue, the economist will be believed and the homeless person will be ridiculed, even if the data makes it very clear that the homeless person is right. (This is known as the 'fallacy of authority.' )

(2) People tend judge others by their words, not their deeds, with the result that a grouchy person who does good is seen as evil, whereas an evil person who pays lip-service to virtue is seen as good.

(3) People assume that what they are not familiar with is impossible. Smith says that his girlfriend has symptoms XYZ and Jones, not having ever personally seen anybody exhibiting those symptoms, refuses on that basis alone to believe Jones.

(4) People have some tendency to assume that entailments are 'convertible', i.e. that if q follows from p, then p also follows from q ('if Smith was decapitated, then he died; so given that he died, he must have been decapitated'). This known as 'affirming the consequent.'        

(5) It is assumed that confirmation is transitive, i.e. that if p confirms q and q confirms r, then p confirms. But this is not so. Smith's being a crime boss is evidence of his having considerable, and Smith's having considerable wealth is evidence of his having some kind of legitimate employment; but Smith's being a crime boss is not evidence of his having legitimate employment.

When people commit fallacies 1-3, their doing so tends to have an emotional basis; they want to believe that authority-figures are good people, that people are honest, and that what is strange is impossible. When people commit fallacies 4 and 5, their doing is less a reflection of emotionally rooted prejudices than of sheer lack of acumen. In any case, all of these fallacies are routinely committed.
