Question

Read the following passages. If an argument commits a fallacy of a personal attack or an emotional appeal, then identify the specific fallacy. If a passage does not contain a fallacy, then answer "No fallacy". Explain your answers. You spend most of your time in your room reading books. When I was your age, I played all types of sports. So, if you don't start joining some teams, then I won't give you any more money to buy books, and I'll tear up your library card. My uncle drinks a six-pack of beer a day, so I couldn't believe it when he lectured me on the dangers of alcohol. He's one to talk! Nothing he says about drinking can be true because he cannot stop drinking himself. Maybe you didn't know that she is an orphan. Her outrageous behavior should be excused because of her background. He did not do well on the exams: nevertheless, you should give him an A for the course. After all, he is taking 18 credits and is holding down a full time job. You need to stop wearing those clothes. Just look at some teen magazines and check out the latest fashions at the mall. No one cool wears that style anymore. Our gold establishment admits only a few new members every year. Our standards are high, but why settle for something that anyone can have? See if you have what it takes to be among a special group.
