A member of parliament asked the Speaker of the House to allow him to make a speech. When the Senator rose to his feet to speak, she pulled out a large poster with horrific images of car accidents. Several parliamentarians who had lost family members in car accidents began to weep. She then said, "I have also lost a loved one in a bad car accident". Which components of Aristotle’s persuasive message is the Senator using in her speech?Group of answer choicesPathos and ethos.Ethos and logos.Logos and pathos.Factos and pathos.

In Sophistical Refutations, Aristotle also identifies seven material fallacies, or those rooted in flawed logic. Sometimes they’re referred to as fallacies of presumption, as they often presume an incorrect conclusion or avoid the issue at hand altogether.The fallacy of accident is committed when a general rule is applied to an exceptional circumstance. It might look something like this: “You shouldn’t shout ‘fire’ in a crowded theater, so it was wrong for you to do so when you smelled smoke.”Secundum quid et simpliciter works similarly. It involves using an exceptional scenario to argue that a rule should be rejected outright. Promoting the abolition of traffic laws because ambulances sometimes run red lights is an example of secundum quid.Affirming the consequent means taking a true statement and saying its converse is also true. For example, if you’re in Paris, you must also be in France. But reversing these clauses makes the statement incorrect, because if you’re in France, you could be somewhere other than Paris.The next couple of fallacies are more straightforward. The fallacy of irrelevant conclusion is exactly what it sounds like: a conclusion that fails to address the topic of the argument. The false cause fallacy is an argument that erroneously assumes one event led to another. And the many questions fallacy involves asking questions that presume information that may not be true.Finally, we have begging the question. Also known as a circular argument, this fallacy relies on an argument’s conclusion to support its premise. Oftentimes, the premise appears to simply repeat the conclusion in different words. Saying that video games are fun because they’re enjoyable is begging the question because it doesn’t actually explain why video games are enjoyable.Which of the following is an example of begging the question? aThe book is a bestseller because it sold the most copies. bIf you don’t eat meat at this meal, you’re a vegetarian. cThis medication helps cancer patients, so it would help all people. dEvery time I wash my car, it rains the next da
