Question

which of the following is an example of ad hominem?
a. \everyone else agrees with the new policy.\

b. \if we dont change the policy, the school will collapse.\

c. \we shouldnt listen to her argument about school policy because she failed last semester.\

d. \the evidence clearly shows the new policy works.\

Explanation:

Ad Hominem is a fallacy that attacks the person making an argument rather than the argument itself. Option C dismisses her argument about school policy because of her past academic performance (a personal trait unrelated to the policy argument), which fits Ad Hominem. Option A is a bandwagon fallacy, B is a slippery slope, and D is a claim with evidence (not a fallacy).

Answer:

C. "We shouldn't listen to her argument about school policy because she failed last semester."
