Answer from: brandiwingard

The correct answer is D. Bandwagon

Explanation:

Bandwagon is a type of fallacy that occurs when a speaker or writer affirms some opinion, situation or similar is true based on the opinion and position of many other people. This implies, the author of an argument does not provide real support or evidence but mainly relies on how popular something is or the acceptance it has. This can be seen in the passage presented because in this the author uses "The acting, the plot, and the explosions made it the best movie ever! Every reviewer, blogger, and moviegoer thinks so" to try to support and probe the movie is awesome by describing many people believes this, which occurs in Bandwagon fallacy.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
