Which of the following employs an ad hominem fallacy?
A. Studies suggest that joining a team sport has both physical and
mental benefits.
B. Joining team sport helps students learn skills such as teamwork
because students work together as a team.
C. Some students didn't try out for the basketball team last year, and
they had lower grades the next semester.
D. Kids who do not try out for the basketball team are lazy and waste
their time playing video games.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A is positive. It says that there are benefits to joining a team. The answer is not A.

B is the same thing so the answer is not B either.

C There is nothing person in C, but it might require proof.

The answer is D because the tone is derogatory. Certainly a better statement can be made other than using video games as an argument.

How does Angelou's comment about the liberal woman from Texas identify the immediate audience for her essay?

Answers

Answer:

By commenting that the "WHITE woman from Texas [. . . who was] a liberal" asked about her hometown, Maya Angelou presents us with the realization that the essay/ short story's intended audience is those white people who put themselves superior to the 'blacks' and the apparent disparity between the two.

Explanation:

Maya Angelou's short narrative story "My Name Is Margaret" is about the author's experience while staying with the Cullinan family. The short story revolves around her experience living as a black woman amidst the prejudice prevalent under racism.

On the very first lines of the first paragraph of the section, Maya Angelou started her story with the lines "RECENTLY A WHITE woman from Texas, who would quickly describe herself as a liberal, asked me about my hometown." With the emphasis on the words "RECENTLY A WHITE", she brings the focus on the 'race' of the woman. Added to that, she pointed out that she was "a liberal", from Texas. Considering the America of her time, it can be immediately inferred that this southern state of America will be under prejudicial discrimination against the blacks, thus confirming the intended audience as the white people who think themselves superior to the blacks while the blacks 'involuntarily' identify themselves as the lower race.

Dilemma: Your friend is not nice to everyone but she thinks she is funny.
Yesterday she made a joke about you that was embarrassing and she always tells
other people about your personal problems because she thinks it's funny. You
want to tell her how you feel but you are afraid it will ruin your friendship. What do you do?

1. What is the dilemma?

2. Identify the contradicting values.

3. What would you do?

Answers

Answer:

1 The Delimma: I don't want to hurt my friend but know she's hurting me by her actions

2 The values are the friendship between my friend and myself vs my reputation as a person and as her friend.

3 The thing to do would be to confront her face to face but without others around.

Explanation:

You cannot allow your friend to continue this, and the best way to end her doing so is to try and help her to see how awful what she is doing is. But truth be told, you may not be able to do anything to help, so the best thing to save the friendship and to be the mature of the two of you is to talk to her about it away from prying ears and eyes. Noone else needs to hear what is said but you and your friend.

Racing to Race

Carlo stopped to rest for a minute and tried to catch his breath. He’d been running for so long that he had pains in his side and his legs were beginning to hurt. He hunched over and tried to expand his lungs, but it was like trying to suck air out of a bicycle tire. His body was too exhausted to even allow him to take a deep breath, and he started to wheeze again.

“Great,” he thought, “let me just add asthma to my expanding list of ailments. I can’t believe that I can’t even jog two miles without completely collapsing!” He finally gave in to his aching body and laid down on the grass to recuperate. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine himself running on the school track in the 1,600-meter race. He pictured himself running steadily toward the finish line, running effortlessly like a cheetah in the jungle. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even hear Meiya approach.

“Hey sleepyhead, what are you doing napping on Sean’s lawn in the middle of the day?” Meiya asked playfully.

Carlo quickly sat up, breathing normally now and feeling a little embarrassed. “I am trying to get in shape to try out for track, but I can’t even run two miles,” he said dejectedly.

“Wait, how many months are you out of surgery? Didn’t you just finish rehab last week?” Meiya asked. “You can’t expect to run two miles the first day.”

It had been six months since Carlo’s surgery and he specifically remembered the doctor telling him he could start running after six months. But he thought about what Meiya had said and realized she had a good point. After his surgery, the doctor did say rehab would be crucial to his recovery but that it would take time for him to gain back full use of his leg. He thought about how a baby had to learn to walk before it could run. He remembered when his nephew was learning to crawl; within days it seemed like he was walking. Running didn’t come right away, Carlo remembered. He realized it was the same with his therapy. The maximum he had run in the past month was one mile on the treadmill, so he realized that Meiya was probably right. He would have to work at building up his endurance and set more realistic goals for himself. As he thought about what he had already accomplished, he started to smile and felt like a weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He realized that he had run almost a mile and a half before his body started to protest and if he kept working hard, he could get back to where he was before his accident.

“Since when did you get so smart, Dr. Meiya?” he teased. “Do you want to race to the next mailbox?”

“You’re on!” she challenged and took off running at full speed.

Part A

What is a central theme of “Racing to Race?”


Running a race is not always about winning.

Good things always come to those who wait.

Recovery from a setback takes time and patience.

A close friend is good medicine.

Question 2
Part B

Which statement best shows how the theme identified in Part A is developed in the story?


Meiya knows that she is faster than Carlo, so she does her best to encourage him and also lets him win a race between them to boost his spirits.

Carlo realizes that he may not be able to compete on the school track team but also discovers that, with time, he will still be able to participate in a sport he loves.

Carlo pictures himself winning a big race on the school track team but then he realizes he may have developed asthma.

Carlo is discouraged that he has to rest after running a short distance, but Meiya reminds him that he has only just finished rehab.

It has been widely accepted that Senator Joe Biden has won the 2020 Presidential Election. So far, Donald Trump has not conceded (announced that he has lost) the election. Some agree with him, while others think that it is time for him to make the speech. What is your opinion? Why do you feel that way?

Answers

Answer:

If he respects democracy he supposed to accept it

Explanation:

It may not be the end of Mr Trump's political ambitions - he could always pull a Grover Cleveland and run for a second term.

Cleveland is the only president to leave the White House and return four years later, taking on the top job in 1885 and then again in 1893.

The US Constitution stipulates that "no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice", but there's nothing about terms needing to be consecutive.

And former aides have suggested Mr Trump may seek to do just that.

"I would absolutely put him on the shortlist of people who are likely to run in 2024," former chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, recently said.

The above answer is wrong. Look at the options and look for a verb that has the word ‘to’ in front of it.

Answer:

Explanati1. Destroy private records and statements. Tear up – or, if you prefer, shred – credit cards statements, solicitations, and other documents that contain private financial information.

2. Secure your mail. Empty you mailbox quickly, lock it or get a P.O. box so criminals don’t have a chance to snatch credit card pitches. Never mail outgoing bill payments and checks from home. They can be stolen from your mailbox and the payee’s name erased with solvents. Mail them from the post office or another secure location.

3. Safeguard your Social Security number. Never carry your card with you, or any other card that may have your number, like a health insurance card. Don’t put your number on your checks. It’s the primary target for identity thieves because it gives them access to your credit report and bank accounts.

4. Don’t leave a paper trail. Never leave ATM, credit card or gas station receipts behind.

5. Never let your credit card out of your sight. Worried about credit card skimming? Always keep an eye on your card or, when that’s not possible, pay with cash.

6. Know who you’re dealing with. Whenever anyone contacts you asking for private identity or financial information, make no response other than to find out who they are, what company they represent and the reason for the call. If you think the request is legitimate, contact the company yourself and confirm what you were told before revealing any of your personal data.

7. Take your name off marketers’ hit lists. In addition to the national Do-Not-Call registry , you can also cut down on junk mail and opt out of credit card solicitations.
