Read this excerpt from a political candidate’s speech about college tuition.

Some people criticize my view that college education should be free for all state residents. But why do they? Our state has enough money, and if we don’t spend it on education, where will we spend it? Think about how much money is spent on state programs that don’t benefit anyone and just line the pockets of politicians and their friends.

Which logical fallacy does the author include?

red herring
ad populum
false analogy
slippery slope

A logical fallacy is an argument that may sound convincing or true but is actually flawed. A red herring fallacy is an attempt to redirect a conversation away from its original topic by introducing an irrelevant piece of information that distracts the reader or listener.

In the excerpt from the political candidate’s speech, the author includes a red herring fallacy when they say: “Think about how much money is spent on state programs that don’t benefit anyone and just line the pockets of politicians and their friends.” This statement is irrelevant to the main topic of college tuition and is meant to divert attention from the criticism of their view. Therefore, the correct answer is red herring.

The logical fallacy included in the excerpt is a red herring.

The correct answer to the given question is option 1.

A red herring fallacy occurs when an irrelevant or unrelated topic is introduced into an argument to divert attention from the main issue. In this case, the author is discussing the criticism they receive for advocating free college education for state residents. Instead of directly addressing the criticism or providing valid counterarguments, the author introduces a new topic about wasteful spending on state programs that don't benefit anyone.

By shifting the focus to unrelated state programs and suggesting that the money spent on those programs could be used for education, the author attempts to distract the audience from the actual topic of free college education. The argument becomes an attempt to justify funding education by criticizing other government expenditures, rather than providing substantive reasons for the proposed policy.

This diversionary tactic does not address the concerns or criticisms of providing free college education and instead introduces an unrelated topic to create a false sense of justification. It is important to recognize and avoid red herring fallacies as they undermine the logical coherence and effectiveness of an argument.

Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild by Jack London.

It was a hard day's run, up the Canon, through Sheep Camp, past the Scales and the timber line, across glaciers and snowdrifts hundreds of feet deep, and over the great Chilcoot Divide, which stands between the salt water and the fresh and guards forbiddingly the sad and lonely North. They made good time down the chain of lakes which fills the craters of extinct volcanoes, and late that night pulled into the huge camp at the head of Lake Bennett, where thousands of goldseekers were building boats against the break-up of the ice in the spring.

The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.

Which statement best expresses the central idea of the excerpt?

Major Tallmadge developed a unique code system so that the Americans could send secret messages.
Major Tallmadge did not trust anyone with his codes other than Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington.
The number codes used in secret messages were assigned only to members of the Culper Ring.
The code system Major Tallmadge designed did not work because some words did not have a number code.

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!
