Every time I am awakened by the alarm at the fire station down the street, I learn that a fire has broken out nearby. If we want to reduce the risk of fire in our neighborhood, we should prohibit the fire station from sounding its alarm. Required:
a. DOES OR DOES NOT commit a fallacy ?
b. DOES OR DOES NOT commit an appeal to ignorance fallacy ?

a). DOES

b). DOES NOT

Explanation:

A fallacy is the reasoning which is logically incorrect, it undermines the logical validity of the argument, and is also recognized as unsound. It is the use of the invalid reasoning or faulty reasoning in the construction of an argument.

In the context, it is given that every time the fire station's alarm rings, I understand that fire has broken out somewhere nearby. And if one needs to stop the risk of fire, then one should prohibit sounding the alarm of the fire station.

Thus this statement is the false reasoning and is logically incorrect. Sounding of the alarm does not causes the fire. So it does commit a fallacy and it does not commit an appeal to ignorance fallacy.

there are no options provided but you can choose among the following gender-neutral pronouns: zir, hir, eir, vis, tem, eir.

in the normal course of maintaining a pronoun-antecedent agreement, we could have used the words his or her but since we are also required to use gender-neutral language, we need to replace it with its equivalent gender-neutral pronoun.
