Question

Read the passage.

Art education must receive funding in Pleasantville Public Schools. We must have funding because it is so necessary. Who could be against funding for art? Unfortunately, our mayor does not support art funding and will not vote for it. She is uncultured and does not care about art. She probably does not allow art even in her own house.

Which phrases from the passage represent the logical fallacy known as begging the question?

“art education must receive funding” and ”we must have funding”
“it is so necessary” and “will not vote for it”
“She is uncultured and does not care about art.”
“She probably does not allow art even in her own house.”

Answer 2

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

"A logical fallacy is a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument which renders the argument invalid."

At the beginning of this passage, the speaker has more of a point, but by saying "She probably does not allow art even in her own house" shows that the speaking is just making assumptions even if they are not true. In conclusion, this renders the argument is invalid.
