Step-by-step explanation:

1) Already learned this, I'm in English 2 and I have a 99 in the class, my best subject :,)

2.The type of logical fallacy that appears in these sentences is Slippery Slope. Slippery slope is a fallacy that suggests that a small action or event will inevitably lead to a much larger and undesirable outcome without sufficient evidence to support such a claim. In this case, the argument suggests that if it continues to snow, it will prevent the person from leaving the house, and this will lead to the inability to obtain food and supplies, which will lead to starvation. This argument does not provide sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that snowfall will necessarily lead to starvation. It is possible that other solutions, such as online grocery delivery, could prevent the undesirable outcome.
