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.

nevsk [136]

The romantic period, which preceded the realist period, glorified war. The Civil War, however, resulted in the loss of many lives on both sides of the war. The horrific reality of the Civil War left no room for such an association in realist works. Realist writers such as Bierce, writing after the war, dwelled on the painful and gory aspects of war. The Civil War also led to a cynical and sometimes bleak outlook on life, which realist writing often reveals.

I lived in the first century of world wars.  I lived in the first century of these wars.
Nadya [2.5K]
First eliminate the options that really do not hold any validity. Nowhere in the poem does the speaker mention a desire to become a solider, take up arms, defend her country...so option 1 is out. Also, there isn't any mention of violence. The author's choice of the word "first" in this line gives the reader the feeling that there will be a "second". This makes option 3 "war is unavoidable" the best option.
