Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Fallacy can be defined as a belief which is based on unreasonable arguments. Or in short, it can be interpreted as reasoning error.

In the given situation, the fallacy that one has is "fallacy of anecdotal evidence."

Fallacy of anecdotal evidence or the anecdotal fallacy is the fallacy of the argument that is based on a group of people's experience or personal experience.

In the example given, the person is mistakenly believing the opinions of a couple of people and his friends only and not on the award committee for awarding Morker as a Teacher of the Year.

So, the correct answer is option B.

Use the drop-down menus to indicate whether each sentence is in the subjunctive mood. I would go for a walk, if it were not rain
Vika [28.1K]
Subjunctive mood is used to express wishes and possibilities, whereas on the other hand, indicative mood is used for facts. So let's go through all of these sentences:
1. I would go for a walk if it weren't raining - this is subjunctive. The form <em>weren't </em>used as a possibility is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>he could go for a walk, but cannot because it is raining

2. I wish you continued at your job - this is also subjunctive. The form <em>continued is </em>is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>something happened, but it didn't.

3. Brett wants Molly and Trent to study with him. - this is indicative. It is a fact that this person wants, so this is not subjunctive.

4. Coach recommends that we run two laps around the track. - this is subjunctive. The coach <em>wishes </em>something would happen - he is going to make his students to what he wishes them to do. 

With verbs such as recommend, wish, suggest, demand, etc., subjunctive mood is used.

Read "Sonnet LV" and answer the question which follows. "Sonnet LV" Not marble nor the gilded monuments Of princes shall outlive
stira [4]
<span>2. broils: quarrels, battles.

Alliteration is the repetition of the consonant  sound at the beginning of more than one word within a line or section of a poem or a piece. In this line, the 'b'sound is repeated two times: "Broils: quarrels, Battles". This sound device helps create rhythm and mood. </span>

<span>B. Why does the pastor agree to help Stanton with her studies?

This is the option that would help the most to understand the pastor. Understanding his motives would help the reader learn about who he is. 

A- might be interesting and might be an important detail but not vital here.
C. Being taught Greek is certainly not the main idea here
D. There is no evidence, at least in this passage, that the pastor's childhood experiences lead to his helping Stanton.

Hope this helps.</span>

Read the passage.

You can conclude that Rita enjoys being active and being around friends and family, so when she didn't have anything to do the rest of the summer she grew bored and lazy, which caused her to count and dwell on the fact that her friends weren't with her and how many days were left until they were.
