Answer 1

Here are the answers:

Question 1 / ad hominem
- Ad hominem is a type of rhetorical fallacy where someone uses a personal attack as part of an argument against a person’s idea.

Drag-and-drop (bandwagon appeal, appeal to authority, pathos, logos)
- bandwagon appeal → a rhetorical fallacy that argues something is true simply because many people believe it.
- appeal to authority → a rhetorical fallacy that misuses ethics to claim an authority that is not valid.
- pathos → an argument that focuses on emotion.
- logos → an argument that focuses on reason.

Match the rhetorical strategy with its description (diction, appeal to authority, ad hominem, rhetorical strategy)
- appeal to authority → a rhetorical fallacy that misuses ethics to claim an authority that is not valid.
- ad hominem → a rhetorical fallacy that uses personal attack against a person instead of addressing the idea.
- (Note: the descriptions “argues something is true because many people believe it,” “focuses on reason,” and “focuses on emotion” correspond to bandwagon appeal, logos, and pathos respectively.)

Question 3 / Which word best describes someone’s perspective?
- belief

Match each word to its definition (evidence, reasoning, diverse perspectives, collegial discussion)
- evidence → facts, documentation, or testimony used to strengthen a claim.
- reasoning → statements of support for claims.
- diverse perspectives → viewpoints informed by different backgrounds.
- collegial discussion → mutually respectful conversation.
