A logical fallacy is an untrue statement which is made by a person that does not help his argument, but rather weakens it by making either an incorrect conclusion, or missing the point.

With this in mind, there are different types of fallacy and they are:

Straw manAppeal to force (Argumentum ad Baculum)Argumentum ad Hominem (Personal attack)Hasty GeneralizationRed HerringCircular ReasoningArgumentum ad Populum (Appeal to the people), etc

For example, if a person tells another person that he is not performing his job well and he replies to him, "you better shut it or I'll smack you", then the second speaker is making use of Argumentum ad Baculum which is an appeal to force.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview so that you can get a better understanding of the concept

Hello. You did not include the passage to which the question refers, which prevents me from showing you the fallacies that the text may contain. However, to help you, I will show you how to identify fallacies and how they weaken a text's arguments. I hope this helped.

Fallacies are arguments that a person presents as true and logical, but they are false and present statements that are not consistent with reality, unprovable and flawed, that emit inaccurate and incorrect information. The fallacies leave the arguments with a fanciful, inconsequential and illogical content, since it has a flawed content and it is not possible to admire and agree.

An example of fallacy occurs with the phrase "my neighbor was bitten by a pitbul, so all pitbuls in the neighborhood must be euthanized as they are dangerous."

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. ‘you make me feel uncivilized, daisy,’ i confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. ‘can’t you talk about crops or something? ’ i meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. ‘civilization’s going to pieces,’ broke out tom violently. ‘i’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. have you read ‘the rise of the coloured empires’ by this man goddard? ’ ‘why, no,’ i answered, rather surprised by his tone. ‘well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. it’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.’ in this passage, tom’s ideas about race relations come off as uncivilized. what literary device is fitzgerald using here?
