How does Anthony avoid committing the slippery slope fallacy? O A. By using figurative language that creates a vivid image in listeners'
niinds
O B. By establishing her credibility and knowledge of current events
O C. By using reasoning and evidence to explain how an extreme
outcome might occur
O D. By repeating similar sounds in a sentence to create an engaging
rhythm

The correct answer is C)

Anthony can avoid committing the Slippery Slope Fallacy by using presenting logical arguments backed up with fact whilst explaining why it is very likely that, on the balance of probability, an extreme event might happen.

Explanation:

A slippery Slope Fallacy refers to the act of basing one's prediction of a very abnormal event on one decision without presenting for consideration of the recipients of such information a logical picture of how such forecast was arrived at.

An example of a Slippery Slope Fallacy is given below:

"If one doesn't learn to read and write, they'd never amount to anything in life."

The sentence above does not make a connection between the undesirable event which is "failing in life" to the inability or refusal to learn how to read and write.

To clarify such a statement, Anthony can give reasons why one action can lead to the undesired outcome by explaining why.

Cheers!

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
