Todd carried out an experiment to test the strength of different thicknesses of nylon rope. He tested them by seeing how many pounds of weight each size rope could hold before breaking. Look at his data table below. What can Todd conclude from this data?

Chris, a master at office gossip and innuendo, says, "we know we have a corporate spy someplace in the organization, probably on the management team itself. there is no evidence that it is audrey. in fact, she's too clean, if you know what i mean. somebody should fire audrey; she's got to be the spy." by making this argument chris is actually engaging in (a) an appeal to emotion fallacy (b) a straw man fallacy (c) an appeal to ignorance fallacy (d) circular reasoning (e) an appeal to the mob fallacy
