The right answers are "may make a person less credible ", "may make an argument illogical " and "are an indicator of pathos ".

The explanation for this answer is that fallacy is a misguided reasoning with the appearance of true. In logic and rhetoric, a fallacy is an incoherent, baseless, invalid, or flawed argument in an attempt to effectively prove what it claims.

In general fallacies "may make a person less credible" "may make an argument illogical" and "are an indicator of pathos". They are rarely helpful for an argument.
