Question

question 8 of 10
how can you ensure that your argument is credible?
a. by appealing to emotions
b. by avoiding logical fallacies
c. by using only facts and evidence
d. by attacking your opponent

Explanation:

• Appealing to emotions (A) can be manipulative and not based on solid reasoning.
• Attacking the opponent (D) is a fallacy (ad - hominem) and does not strengthen the argument.
• Using only facts and evidence (C) is too extreme as a well - rounded argument may also involve logical reasoning and may not always have access to all facts.
• Avoiding logical fallacies (B) is crucial. Logical fallacies like hasty generalizations, false cause, etc., can make an argument seem weak or untrue. By avoiding them, the argument follows proper logical structure, which is a key part of being credible.

Answer:

B. By avoiding logical fallacies
