Read this excerpt from a political candidate’s speech about college tuition.

Some people criticize my view that college education should be free for all state residents. But why do they? Our state has enough money, and if we don’t spend it on education, where will we spend it? Think about how much money is spent on state programs that don’t benefit anyone and just line the pockets of politicians and their friends.

Which logical fallacy does the author include?

red herring
ad populum
false analogy
slippery slope

Answer:

Red Herring

Explanation:

A red herring is a fallacy where irrelevant or misleading information is presented to divert attention from the main issue or argument.

In this case, the author introduces the idea of state programs that don't benefit anyone and line the pockets of politicians and their friends, which is unrelated to the debate on free college education.

By shifting the focus to unrelated state programs, the author attempts to distract from the criticism of their view and create a diversionary argument.

Hope this helps!

Publishing Doctor Zhivago
Boris Pasternak's 1956 novel Doctor Zhivago tells the story of a Russian doctor living at the time of the 1917 Russian Revolution, which led to the establishment of the Soviet Union. Because the book dealt with hardships people faced after the revolution, publishers in the Soviet Union refused to release it, calling it anti-Soviet. Pasternak's solution was to have the book smuggled out of the Soviet Union and published in Europe. Though Soviet authorities tried to prevent it, the book was published in Italy in 1957 and was immediately well-received. In 1958, it was translated into English and went on to become one of the most popular novels of the 1950s.

What is the main idea of the passage?

Boris Pasternak couldn't get his book Doctor Zhivago published in the Soviet Union, so he had the book smuggled out of the country.
Doctor Zhivago showed the problems that Russians faced following the Russian Revolution, so it was considered anti- Soviet.

Noah began racing go-karts when he was just six years old. Noah has traveled to other states to race, win, and finish in the top five, an impressive accomplishment for anyone but especially for a young driver. He now races a 1934 Ford Legends Coupe, a car that weighs 1,000 pounds and goes faster than 100 miles per hour. Noah regularly competes against drivers who are three times older than he is, but he does not let that intimidate him. He explained in one news article, "I have been racing against older people all my life. When you strap on a helmet, you are no longer a 13-year-old kid, you are a racecar driver. The other drivers don't treat me like a kid. They treat me the same as the other drivers on the track." He has the nickname "Little Gator" partly because of his size and partly because of Gatorland's sponsorship over the last several years.

In paragraph 2, Noah says, "I have been racing against older people all my life. When you strap on a helmet, you are no longer a 13-year-old kid, you are a racecar driver."

What is the implicit meaning of his words?

a
I am very talented because I am able to race against adults.

b
Everyone on the racetrack is equal.

c
All racecar drivers have to wear helmets regardless of age.

d
Older racers are embarrassed to compete against a kid.

One theme in this excerpt from Isaac Asimov’s “The Fun They Had” is remembering the past. Which sentence in the excerpt best reflects this theme?
Margie went into the schoolroom. It was right next to her bedroom, and the mechanical teacher was on and waiting for her. It was always on at the same time every day except Saturday and Sunday, because her mother said little girls learned better if they learned at regular hours.
The screen was lit up, and it said: "Today's arithmetic lesson is on the addition of proper fractions. Please insert yesterday's homework in the proper slot."

Margie did so with a sigh. She was thinking about the old schools they had when her grandfather's grandfather was a little boy. All the kids from the whole neighborhood came, laughing and shouting in the schoolyard, sitting together in the schoolroom, going home together at the end of the day. They learned the same things, so they could help one another on the homework and talk about it.

And the teachers were people. . . .

The mechanical teacher was flashing on the screen: “When we add the fractions ½ and ¼—”
Margie was thinking about how the kids must have loved it in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had.

With the beginning of the Space Shuttle program in the 1980s, it became vital to improve the food and methods of eating and drinking in space since astronauts could spend 30 days aboard. The new food system included hot and cold water dispensers, a pantry, and an oven. Astronauts are able to choose meals in advance, though meals are repeated about every week. In addition, the space shuttle includes individual-sized packets of mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot sauce for seasoning. The space food system has improved drastically since its beginning days of tubes and bite-sized, dehydrated foods. As space missions become longer, the program will undoubtedly make new advances.
