The next five questions concern the following passage with numbered sections: (1) The BP oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 seriously polluted the ocean. (2) The head of BP now says that the so-called accident could not have been predicted or prevented, but of course he would say that. He would say anything just to try to hold onto his enormous CEO salary. We shouldn’t listen to someone so biased. (3) We can either punish this criminal, or we can stand back and let corporations do whatever they want. (4) The Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has suggested the CEO receive the death penalty as punishment for this crime, but this is going too far. Still, we cannot just let this reckless criminal CEO roam free. The sensible response is to lock him up for life and throw away the key. (5) If we let this guy get away with it, then environmental protections will be eroded, and we will end up in a situation where people will just be dumping oil and industrial waste in the ocean whenever they like. What a disaster! 14.1) In the above passage, what is section (1)?None of the above 14.2) In the above passage, what is section (2)?An ad hominem 14.3) In the above passage, what is section (3)?A false dilemma 14.4) In the above passage, what is section (4)?An appeal to authority 14.5) In the above passage, what is section (5)?A slippery slope 多重下拉选择题
