After being told that she is being punished for lying, a child responds by telling her mother that she also lied. This response may involve which fallacy?

appeal to pity

Thomas jefferson owned slaves, so slavery must have been a good idea what fallacy is that?

In the first question, the child's response to her mother involves the fallacy of ad hominem (tu quoque). This fallacy occurs when someone avoids addressing the argument or criticism by diverting attention to the other person's actions or claims. In this case, the child deflects the punishment by pointing out that her mother has also lied.

To determine the answer to the second question, we need to identify the fallacy committed in the statement "After the asteroid hit the earth, there was a tornado. So the asteroid caused the tornado." The correct answer here is false cause. This fallacy assumes that because two events are correlated, one event caused the other without providing sufficient evidence.

Lastly, for the third question, the statement "China uses too much oil. So they shouldn't develop their industry" may commit the fallacy of false dichotomy. False dichotomy occurs when only two options are presented, even though there may be other alternatives. In this case, it implies that China must choose between using too much oil or not developing their industry, without considering other possible solutions.

Hope this clears up your confusion!
