(A) Begging the claim (also known as begging the question).

Explanation:

Circular reasoning occurs when a claim becomes evidence. In the case of begging the claim, an example would be: Taurus people are very patient because many Taureans I meet are very patient.

The other options aren't circular reasoning:

Genetic fallacy is a type of fallacy where someone refers to the historical context of a condition as an argument basis, instead of talking about its present context. An example would be someone arguing that Country B should not help Country A defend itself from a hostile attack - even though Country A is currently helping Country B with a current war - since Country A previously did not help them during the World War. This isn't circular reasoning because there's new evidence presented, although irrelevant to the current argument context. Ad populum is a type of fallacy where an argument is assumed true because many people believe it to be true. For example, because many people believe that walking under ladders bring you bad luck, you think that walking under ladders will indeed create bad luck for anyone who does it. This isn't circular reasoning - it is instead a form of generalization. Hasty generalization is a type of fallacy where a condition is assumed to be more widespread than it is. For example, there is a dengue fever outbreak in London, Kentucky. Hasty generalization occurs when you say that there is a dengue fever outbreak in the whole United States. This is, of course, a form of generalization, not circular reasoning.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
