Which sentence exemplifies the logical fallacy "authority"? Don't ask my friend to help you plan for the party; she has terrible taste in music. If we don't elect Mrs. Smith to the senate, we will definitely see a rise in taxes. My dentist doesn't believe in taking vitamins, so I don't take them either. We never had any crime until Mr. Jones was elected to office, so it's definitely his fault.

My dentist doesn't believe in taking vitamins, so I don't take them either.

Explanation:

The logical fallacy authority occurs when one uses the testimony of a particular person who is in the position of an authority even though the person in question isn't an expert in that particular field.

The sentence that exemplifies the logical fallacy "authority" is "My dentist doesn't believe in taking vitamins, so I don't take them either".

In this case, a dentist is an expert with the teeth and not an expert in the field with regards to the question. Therefore, this is a logical fallacy authority.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
