Answer:

The tropical storm flooded half of the city and left thousands of people homeless, which the meteorologists had predicted.

Explanation:

An independent clause has a subject and a predicate. It is capable of expressing a complete thought on its own. On the other hand, a subordinate clause is formed by a subject and a verb and starts with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun - in this case, "which". A subordinate clause does not express a full idea on its own, it needs the information expressed by the main clause in order to make sense.

The subordinate clause "which the meteorologists had predicted" lacks information to make sense since it is not attached to an independent clause. By adding "The tropical storm flooded half of the city and left thousands of people homeless" and connecting the subordinate clause to it, we have a complete piece of information. In this case, since the subordinate clause has the function of explaining something said in the independent one, we should separate them with a comma. The result is:

"The tropical storm flooded half of the city and left thousands of people homeless, which the meteorologists had predicted."

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.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

In Julius Caesar, Cassius was able to convince Brutus to join in the plan to eliminate Caesar even as Brutus was already wondering if Caesar would be swayed by power and seek to subjugate lesser people, he compared Caesar to a serpent "which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous”; thus, he determines to “kill him in the shell”.

Cassius and other conspirators,Casca, Decius, Cinna, Metellus, and Trebonius visit Brutus in his home in Act II, Scene I and talk about how to eliminate Caesar. Cassius suggest they take an oath but Brutus declines, saying their cause is stronger than any oath. The group become worried that Caesar may not come out because of the words of an augur that foresaw the event and warned Caesar but Decius assures them that he can convince Caesar to make an appearance at the Capitol by flattering him about his bravery.

Cassius is worried about Antony and suggests he is also eliminated by Brutus disagrees by saying it would make things too bloody.
