excerpt from How to Behave: A Pocket Manual of Republican Etiquette by Samuel R. Wells

American children (we are sorry to be obliged to say it) are not, as a general rule, well behaved. They are rude and disrespectful, if not disobedient. . . . Through whose fault comes this state of things? American boys and girls have naturally as much good sense and good-nature as those of any other nation, and, when well trained, no children are more courteous and agreeable. The fault lies in their education. In the days of our grandfathers, children were taught manners at school; a rather rude, backwoods sort of manners, it is true, but better than the no manners at all of the present day. We must blame parents in this matter rather than their children. If you would have your children grow up beloved and respected by their elders as well as their contemporaries, teach them good manners in their childhood. The young sovereign should first learn to obey, that he may be the better fitted to command in his turn.

Which statement from the excerpt uses fallacious reasoning?

A."The young sovereign should first learn to obey, that he may be the better fitted to command in his turn," because the author is applying the behavior of one to the behavior of all.

B."American children (we are sorry to be obliged to say it) are not, as a general rule, well behaved," because it is an argument based purely on emotion.

C."American children (we are sorry to be obliged to say it) are not, as a general rule, well behaved," because if the author must apologize for a statement, it should not be included.

D."The young sovereign should first learn to obey, that he may be the better fitted to command in his turn," because although this statement sounds reasonable, the author provides no support for it.

Part a which statement best describes a central idea in this narrative? in times of tragedy, it is difficult to determine how best to be of service. in times of crisis, people prefer to be alone. young people tend to look to older people to take action in times of tragedy. when people publicly commit to being of service, they are more likely to follow through. part b which detail from the text best to shape the central idea in part a? "'i thought you might have too much going on already. i saw everyone post online.' martin said, 'i don’t think anyone wanted to be in the way today, so i’m glad you came.'" "finally, he said, 'i don’t know what to do. i guess i should tell him to let me know if he needs anything, but that doesn’t feel like enough.'" "he wondered how many people would actually show up to out and how many would simply hope that enough others did." "he explained to her that martin’s mom had died, and told her how he felt about his friend’s loss. 'what do you plan to do for him? ' his mother asked."
