se the article excerpt to answer the question. What type of fallacy is demonstrated in the article? (1 point) Responses ad hominem ad hominem loaded language loaded language gambler’s fallacy gambler’s fallacy slippery slope

Answer 1

To accurately identify the type of fallacy demonstrated in the article excerpt, I would need to see the specific content of the excerpt. However, I can provide you with definitions for the fallacies you've listed:

1. Ad Hominem: This fallacy occurs when an argument attacks a person's character or traits instead of addressing the argument itself.

2. Loaded Language: This involves using emotionally charged language to sway an audience's feelings rather than making a logical argument.

3. Gambler’s Fallacy: This is the belief that past random events affect the probabilities of future random events occurring, commonly expressed in gambling situations.

4. Slippery Slope: This fallacy argues that a relatively small first step will inevitably lead to a chain of related events resulting in significant (and often undesirable) consequences.

If you provide the excerpt, I can help you pinpoint which specific fallacy is present.
