Solution

The argument presented here is an example of Ad Hominem Circumstantial. This type of argument attacks the person making the argument rather than the argument itself, suggesting that the person's circumstances or actions undermine their argument. In this case, the argument is that Naomi Wolf's appearance and the use of her image on her book cover undermine her argument against the importance of beauty and slenderness.
