genetic fallacy

Explanation:

Answer from: w210138937

(A) Begging the claim (also known as begging the question).

Explanation:

Circular reasoning occurs when a claim becomes evidence. In the case of begging the claim, an example would be: Taurus people are very patient because many Taureans I meet are very patient.

The other options aren't circular reasoning:

Genetic fallacy is a type of fallacy where someone refers to the historical context of a condition as an argument basis, instead of talking about its present context. An example would be someone arguing that Country B should not help Country A defend itself from a hostile attack - even though Country A is currently helping Country B with a current war - since Country A previously did not help them during the World War. This isn't circular reasoning because there's new evidence presented, although irrelevant to the current argument context. Ad populum is a type of fallacy where an argument is assumed true because many people believe it to be true. For example, because many people believe that walking under ladders bring you bad luck, you think that walking under ladders will indeed create bad luck for anyone who does it. This isn't circular reasoning - it is instead a form of generalization. Hasty generalization is a type of fallacy where a condition is assumed to be more widespread than it is. For example, there is a dengue fever outbreak in London, Kentucky. Hasty generalization occurs when you say that there is a dengue fever outbreak in the whole United States. This is, of course, a form of generalization, not circular reasoning.

the correct answer is d. a discussion of specific uses of alliteration

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.

Answer from: Quest

all of these investments exhibit common risk factors. these investments show signs of problems with upper management. quarterly earnings are not up to snuff. emerging markets, while sometimes lucrative, are inherently risky. there could possibly be a discrepancy in the debt to cash flow ratio. the potential returns of each investment range wildly. buy and hold for dear life is not a wise investing philosophy, but an investor's exposure to risk is at their own discretion. with the very thin evidence that is available to me concerning fraudulent behavior, i would recommend consulting with another financial planner, possibly keep a lawyer on retainer, and keep a book with finra and sec guidelines handy.
