Suppose that you are having a disagreement with a teacher, and the teacher says to you, "if you continue to disagree with my assessment, i am afraid you won't get a very good grade in my class." what form of fallacy of relevance would this be? a. appeal to authority b. appeal to tradition c. appeal to fear d. red herring

The correct answer is C. Appeal to fear

Explanation:

In language, a fallacy of relevance occurs when a speaker tries to support a premise or claim but offer information that is irrelevant or that is not connected to the premise or claim. Additionally, this type of fallacies can occur in different forms, one of this is the appeal to fear in which the speaker uses language or information that evokes fear on the audience for trying to persuade them about the claim. This occurs in the case of the argument provided by the teacher because the teachers aim at proving he or she is right but instead of giving reasons the teacher tries to intimidate or frighten the student with giving him a bad grade if the student does not accept the teacher is right. Therefore, the form of fallacy, in this case, is the appeal to fear, because fear is used as the main argument to try to convince and manipulate the student, but this is not connected to the main argument or claim.
