Question

what happens in an ad hominem persuasive technique?
a limited number of options are presented.
a person is attacked rather than an argument.
loaded language is used to appeal to emotions.
a quick judgment is made without the use of evidence.

Explanation:

Ad hominem is a logical fallacy. In this fallacy, instead of addressing the argument or claim, the person making the argument is attacked. For example, if someone says "Your idea about environmental policy is wrong because you are not a scientist", they are attacking the person (not being a scientist) rather than the actual idea about environmental policy.

Answer:

B. A person is attacked rather than an argument.
