O A. Ad hominem
O B. Straw man
O C. Slippery slope
O D. Ad populum
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.

Answer:
He describes how a prehistoric city would have been like.
Explanation:
The text you're referring to is "Secrets of the Lost City of Z" by Anthony Mason. In this writing, the author talks about Arthur Conan Doyle's book "The Lost World", and how this story influenced other ideas such as Jurassic Park and King Kong. However, the focus of the text is the main character, Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett and his search for the Lost City of Z, somewhere in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. In the introduction of the text, the author wrote,
"Since the dawn of the modern age, the notion of a pre-historic world, hidden deep in the jungle and untouched by the passage of time, has captived our imagination."
The author introduces the hidden prehistoric city in the jungle using detailed descriptions and narrative. This can be seen in the excerpts about Randy Haas' discovery and the dialogue between Socrates and Glaucon. Using such techniques allows readers to visualize the historical setting.
The introduction of the hidden prehistoric city in the jungle by the author is achieved through the use of vivid description and narrative. A good example of an author introducing a hidden prehistoric site can be seen in the text about Randy Haas, where he found a grave in the Andes mountains. His discovery is described in detail, encapsulating the mystery and the historical significance of this finding.
Another way is detailed in the excerpt where Socrates and Glaucon converse. In that excerpt, Socrates introduces a city in an underground den using extensive description and metaphors. This descriptive technique allows the readers to visualize the historical setting as if they were there themselves.
Remember, narration and description are two powerful tools that authors often employ to introduce new settings, particularly when dealing with hidden or historical locations.
