Hi! Could you tell me what this means? I have a question on my homework with this word in it and I was wondering what it meant. If someone could let me know ASAP, that'd be great. Although, if you're working on another question, take your time.

My question is:

What does make an appeal to authority mean?

Thanks so much! Have a good day!

Which word confuses you? Authority?

When you encounter a new word or one you're not sure of, look it up. It's easy. You can type the word into your web browser followed by the abbreviation "def" or the word "definition" and several dictionaries will come up. You can also go to a specific dictionary such as:

http://www.mirriam-webster.com

or

http://dictionary.com/browse/authority

or whatever word you want to look up.

Thanks!

You are very welcome. :)
