After using the context to determine the meaning of "rapture", we can conclude it means "delight" or even "euphoria".

We can come to this meaning <u>because of the words that describe the same action</u>, such as "passion", "intoxication", and "pleasure."

After looking the word up in an online dictionary, I confirmed my definition. The dictionary entry says "rapture" refers to "ecstasy" and an "overwhelming feeling".

  • The word "rapture" appears in Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Necklace" when the narrator describes the way the main character is dancing. See the excerpt below:
  • "She danced with rapture, with passion, intoxicated by pleasure, forgetting all in the triumph of her beauty, in the glory of her success . . ."
  • This feeling of forgetting about everything else when an overwhelming feeling comes over us can be described as ecstasy. Ecstasy is extreme delight, a sense of euphoria.

Identify which logical fallacy takes place in the example.
faltersainse [42]

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.
