Question

Eventually, as is already sometimes the case at Lake Mead,

the stagnant waters will become too foul even for
swimming. The trouble is that while some boats have what
are called 'self-contained" heads, the majority do not;
most sewage is disposed of by simply pumping it into the
water. It will take a while, but long before it becomes a
solid mass of mud Lake Powell ("Jewel of the Colorado")
will enjoy a passing fame as the biggest sewage lagoon in
the American Southwest.
O A. Slippery slope
OB. Circular logic
OC. Bandwagon
OD. Straw man

Answer 1

The rhetorical device used in the passage is a slippery slope. This is because the author suggests that Lake Powell will become a sewage lagoon if people continue to dispose of their sewage into the water, and this will make the water too foul for swimming. The author is using this slippery slope to persuade readers that they should stop disposing of their sewage into the lake.
