Read the paragraph.

[1] Recently I read a magazine article about commercial airplanes that were still in use despite past mechanical issues. [2] In the past year, four airplanes with repeated mechanical issues caused accidents on the runway. [3] How could a responsible airline continue to operate a plane with a history of mechanical issues, knowing that they were continuing to cause runway accidents?

What rhetorical device is used in sentence 2?

a false dilemma
an appeal to logic
an appeal to authority
an ad hominem attack

B. A false dilemma

Explanation:

False dilemma is a kind of error that produces some kind of situation when, in fact, more than just the two options mentioned in the speech are available. Notice that President Reagan states that the Soviet Union only has two choices: 'It requires or would be redundant to reform radically.' The Soviet Union has, of course, many options taking into account all of the measures that a nation might choose to pursue. Nevertheless, Reagan sounds like that's the only two choices. Like any other error, false dilemmas are used in order to persuade the audience of the opinion of the speaker. It can be deceptive, however.

- "a nonrestrictive clause functions as a modifier to a noun (that is an object, person or concept). these clauses can be described by the following three options: it is set off by comas, it contains a subject and a verbs and it adds nonessential information to the sentence.

for example, in "here is bill gates, who confounded microsoft software company" we can identify "who confounded microsoft software company" as a nonrestrictive clause modifying the noun bill gates. this clause can be describes as a nonrestrictive clause because it is separated by a comma, it adds nonessential information to identify who bill gates is and it must contain both a subject (who) and a verb (confounded)."

the answer is clear boy
