B) It posits an unquestioning faith in the wisdom of one's forebears.

Explanation:

An argument, a belief, an idea etc. should only be assessed based on its logical values.

In simple turns, disagreeing with someone just because you don't think much of him, or, contrary, accepting someone's argument just because he is dear to you, or famous, or doing something just because everybody else does it, are all examples of some of the logical fallacies.

Only if conclusion arises from valid reasoning and true premises we can avoid making fallacies.

B) It posits an unquestioning faith in the wisdom of one's forebears.

Explanation:

The fallacy in above statement is that it posits an unquestioning faith in the wisdom of one's forebears.

This means that a person does not think of questioning the wisdom of their fore fathers, rather they trust them blindly. There could be a possibility of them being incorrect but this thought does not cross their minds.

Thanks for asking.

Answer from: Quest

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city." i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.

hope this answer you, have a great day!

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
