Question

BRIANLIEST
I disagree with my opponent on virtually every issue, but here’s the main reason: He’s incapable of doing what’s right. Every word that comes out of his mouth is a boldfaced lie. If he ever told the truth, the sun would freeze. So, when he says that we need to plant more trees to combat climate change, rest assured, he’s saying it for reasons other than combatting climate change. For that reason, we must resist his every word.

Which type of faulty reasoning does the author use in this excerpt?

A.
hasty generalization
B.
loaded language
C.
ad hominem
D.
slippery slope

Answer 1

Answer:

C.

ad hominem

Explanation:

ad hominem means personal attacks

hasty generalization can be like bad logic or bad cause & effect : guy eats french fries & is healthy so french fries are healthy

loaded language is one that can show someone overly emotional like : he is so so proud to have a new car

slippery slope can be like a ridiculous extreme : if we legalize something then everything will be legalized and crime will increase
