5/21/2019 Quiz 2: PHIL 120 98A Introduction to Critical Thinking


Quiz 2
Due May 21 at 11:59pm Points 30 Questions 10
Available until May 21 at 11:59pm Time Limit 60 Minutes


Instructions
General Instructions:

Quiz 2 consists of 10 questions. You are given 1 (one) hour to complete the quiz.

Questions 1-10:

For each of the given passages you need to determine whether it contains an Ad Populum, Ad
Verecundiam, or Ad Misericordiam argument. If yes, you need to further determine whether this argument
involves a corresponding fallacy (i.e., whether it is, in addition, a fallacious argument). Answer Y (Yes)
or N (No) in the corresponding blanks.

NOTE: Remember that each of Ad Populum, Ad Verecundiam, and Ad Misericordiam arguments can be
either non-fallacious or fallacious; it is the latter case when we call a corresponding argument, e.g., an Ad
Populum argument, an Ad Populum fallacy.

IMPORTANT:
Please note that the quiz must be finished and submitted before the corresponding deadline as in the
schedule, not just started - once the deadline is reached, the system will automatically stop the quiz and you
will no longer be allowed to continue with the quiz (so you might lose your points for the quiz). Also, when
you are done, make sure you press the Submit button - unless you do so, the quiz may not automatically
be submitted to the system (and you risk losing all the points for this quiz)!

If, while taking the Quiz, you experience any technical problems which prevent you from completing the
Quiz, you must immediately report your issue to the IT-people responsible for the technical issues
(not the instructor!) by following the "DE Helpdesk" link on the main course menu. The Help Desk people
monitor and record the current situation and they will then send their report to me, the instructor, with all the
relevant information. If not reported to the DE Helpdesk, I, the instructor, will not be able to verify any issues
with the Quiz, and, as such, will not be able to change your grade or give you any other attempt to finish the
quiz.
