Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A. Ad hominem

Explanation:

In Latin, Ad hominem means ‘to the man.’ It is a logical fallacy that attempts to win an argument by undermining or insulting an opponent instead of focusing on the subject of the discussion or on disproving the soundness of what the opponent is actually saying. This fallacy often looks to deviate people's attention from the subject of discussion, and prove that since the opponent has such despicable characteristics, then what he or she is saying is not valid or unworthy of attention.

Flowers usually contain more stamen than pistils. Why do you think this is?

Answers

It only takes one pistil for seeds to be fertilized, but it doesn't guarantee that the pollen will find it way to the pistil. In insect pollinated plants, the insects may visit a different species next, so the pollen would go to the "wrong" type of plant. So by producing more stamens (and therefore more pollen) it increases the chances that at least some pollen gets to the "right" place.
