What fallacies can be found in each of the passages below: (Please write only one type of fallacy under each extract.) 1.6.1 "My client is an integral part of this community. If he is sent to prison not only will this city suffer but also he will be most missed by his family. You surely cannot find it in your hearts to reach any other verdict than 'not guilty "" 1.6.2 "You will back up my story and tell the committee I am reasoning logically; because if you don't I will do everything in my power to see that you are fired." 1.6.3 "In recent studies researchers have shown that women have more accurate intuition than men do. The reason cited is that men's intuition is more often mistaken."

Answer:
1.6.1 Fallacy: **Appeal to Pity (Ad Misericordiam)**
This passage contains an appeal to pity by emphasizing the negative consequences of a guilty verdict, such as the city suffering and the defendant's family missing him, to sway the decision-makers' emotions rather than relying on the merits of the case.
1.6.2 Fallacy: **Threat (Ad Baculum)**
The fallacy in this passage is a threat. The speaker is attempting to persuade someone to support their argument by using the threat of negative consequences (being fired) rather than presenting valid reasoning or evidence.
1.6.3 Fallacy: **Hasty Generalization**
The fallacy in this passage is a hasty generalization. It makes a sweeping generalization that women have more accurate intuition than men based on recent studies, without providing sufficient evidence or considering potential variables that could affect the results.
