Answer: Wild Goose Chase
Explanation:
Plagiarism is a big issue in the academic and journalistic world ( indeed any subject that has to do with writing) and it is worthy of note that it does not mean simply copying a person's work to pass as your own. It can also mean failing to give proper credit where it is due.
This is the form of plagiarism that the Wild Goose Chase plagiarism is. It involves using the works of an author but instead of correctly citing them so due credit is given, the writer instead uses other sources either real or made up which is what Lee did in her blog post.
It is called a Wild Goose Chase because somebody aiming to verifying the information will not find the information where they were supposed to meaning that the writer had sent them on a wild goose chase.
Answer: C) The author proves that he's biased when he uses terms like "silly" and "stupid."
Explanation: The words "silly" and "stupid" are the only instances of evidence among the options, since they were taken directly from the text that is being discussed. The closest example of bringing the text's content into the discussion is in option C (stating what the author has expressed), but that option doesn't present any conclusion. Option A is presented as a personal opinion with a vague origin ("I feel") and option B tries to back the presented conclusion with an assumption ("the author obviously hates [...] fast food") instead of evidence.
According to Tyson, the Hayden Planetarium project in 2000 presented Pluto for the first time not as a regular part of the Solar System (which is to say, as a number of planets), but according to its physical features. There were four "rocky, terrestrial objects", four "gas giants", and Pluto didn't belong to either of those groups. Instead, it was classified as an "icy object", along with many others. This was the turning point for the media, who interpreted this as stripping Pluto of its planetary status (and honor). The science was compelled to interfere, so that 6 years later, on an international conference, Pluto was proclaimed a dwarf planet, as a middle-ground solution. Tyson deals with the public attention that Pluto has received in the prior and following years.
