In a blog post focused specifically on the topic of whether or not children should be allowed to attend a formal business awards ceremony, the blogger makes the following argument. which type of special appeal does it demonstrate? bringing children to a black tie event like this is like bringing favorite pets. no matter how much you love them, they are often inappropriate, constantly underfoot, and they distract from the focus of the event. that focus is adults enjoying themselves as adults and as people, not as parents. a. false analogy b. red herring c. bandwagon d. fallacy of argument from ignorance

The correct answer is A. false analogy

Indeed, the author opens his argument by comparing children to pets which is not only condescending but insulting. Although children can be as fidgeting and annoying as playful pets, they do have the capacity to think and learn and they are very capable of adapting to different social situations, sometimes even more than adults.

Animals do not have that kind of capacity to think and reflect on their place in their environment. They are ruled by their instincts and by how much their human masters allow them to act upon these. Children on the other hand can either be bored by the event or find it fascinating as a learning and playing experience, depending on many different factors. Therefore the blogger cannot positively pretend that their presence will be detrimental for their parents or the event itself without disposing of the entirety of the contextual information.

A. false analogy.

Explanation:

This is most likely a case of false analogy. A false analogy occurs when an author compares two things that are not equivalent. In this case, the author tells us that a child and a pet are equally inappropriate and distracting at a formal event. This is a false analogy because the two are not really comparable. Children can understand what is going on in the event. They can also understand rules of behaviour, and can communicate their wishes and interests. Therefore, this is not a fair comparison.
