Answer Division False analogy Equivocation No fallacy 5 points Question 5 The farmers of our state have asked that we introduce legislation to provide subsidies for soybeans.

Obviously the Immigration Service has not been doing its job. Answer Circular reasoning Post hoc ergo propter hoc Authority Slippery slope 5 points Question 7 Motives and desires exert forces on people, causing them to choose one thing over another. But force is a physical quantity, governed by the laws of physics. Therefore, human choices are governed by the laws of physics. Answer Division False analogy Equivocation No fallacy 5 points Question 8 When a car breaks down so often that repairs become pointless, the car is thrown on the junk heap. Similarly, when a person becomes old and diseased, he or she should be mercifully put to death. Answer Division Hasty generalization False Analogy Composition 5 points Question 9 All persons act in order that they might get pleasure. Even so-called altruistic persons who help others so much that they do almost nothing for themselves get pleasure out of giving. Otherwise, they wouldn’t do it. Suppose a person hits himself over the head with a hammer. He must get pleasure from it, because why else would he do it if he didn’t get pleasure from it? Answer Circular reasoning Composition Either/Or Fallacy Post hoc ergo propter hoc 5 points Question 10 Televangelist Jerry Falwell said that God’s anger with feminism led to the destruction of the World Trade Center. Given Falwell’s closeness to God, we have no alternative than to blame the feminists for this atrocity. Answer Ignorance Composition Authority Circular reasoning 5 points Question 11 Of course animals have rights. Just look at how powerless they are in comparison with modern humans.
