Gracie is the worst class president ever. she doesn't even know how to dance.

which type of logical fallacy is this an example of?

a. slippery slope
b. ad hominem
c. straw man
d. bandwagon

The correct answer is option b.Ad hominem.

Explanation:

The ad hominem fallacy is characterized by the attempt to discredit those who are defending their position by pointing out something negative about them.

Let's see how it works with the example given.

That would be the circuit that runs through an ad hominem fallacy, and which leads us to say that it is the correct answer.

dependent clause!

example: "before the food gets cold"

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
