Question 3 options:

"Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman!"


"Nobody every helps me into carriages or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman?"

Answer 1

The quotation that is NOT an example of fallacious reasoning is:

"Nobody ever helps me into carriages or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman?"

This statement presents a personal experience and a rhetorical question that emphasizes a logical argument about women's rights. It appeals to the lived experiences of women and challenges societal expectations, rather than employing flawed reasoning or distractions seen in the other quotations. The other two quotations focus on reasoning that relies on false premises or misinterpretations, framing arguments in a way that could be considered fallacious.
