Excerpt from Standardized Test Preparation
Steve Dawson

One way to avoid the problems raised by voluntary tutorials is to make these sessions mandatory. This requires either lengthening the school day or removing students from classes deemed “non-essential.” Both solutions, as we have already noted, are flawed. Ingenuity is necessary to resolve this problem. Therefore, I propose the following strategy: This school district should establish partnerships in the private sector. Local businesses, for example, can provide gift cards, movie tickets, and discount coupons to be distributed to students who take part in the voluntary tutorials. By sweetening the pot in this way, more students will be enticed to stay after school and participate.

If you did not agree with the claim "Local businesses, for example, can provide gift cards, movie tickets, and discount coupons to be distributed to students who take part in the voluntary tutorials. By sweetening the pot in this way, more students will be enticed to stay after school and participate," you might say that these lines are example of which logical fallacy?

A) ad hominem
B) red herring
C) false causation
D) appeal to authority
