Read this sentence: it's time to go to bed because it's bedtime. is this sentence an example of begging the question? why or why not? a. no, because it relies on authority to make its claim. b. no, because it is logically sound. c. yes, because it is directed personally at a target. d. yes, because the claim is the same as its premise.

The correct answer is D. Yes, because the claim is the same as its premise

Explanation:

Begging the question is a type of fallacy, this means the use of incorrect reasoning, in which the premise or argument is not supported but instead a conclusion is taken from the argument itself, this implies in begging the question the premise is assumed to be true and the conclusion derives from it, in this way the premise is used to support itself. In the case of " it's time to go to bed because it's bedtime" the premise is "it's time to go to bed" but there is no argument or reason to support the premise, but the premise itself is assumed as true "because it's bedtime" which leads to the argument and the conclusion being the same. This implies this is a begging question because the claim or conclusion is the same that the premise as the premise is assumed to be true by itself.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.
