Jill: "I believe that women who do the same work as men should receive the same pay as those men. After all, people are supposed to get paid for their work, not for their gender."
Bill: "Sure thing Jill. I'll be sure to support that... just as soon as you dames start paying for dinner. Hah, Ha! By the way, I really like that dress. It shows your curves quite nicely." Appeal to RidiculeAppeal to SpiteAppeal to Common PracticeAppeal to FlatteryAppeal to Ridicule is the right answer. In this example, Bill is not arguing. He is simply mocking Jill's position.Appeal to Spite is a wrong answer. While Bill's mockery might make Jill spiteful, there is no attempt to substitute a feeling of spitefulness for evidence.Appeal to Common Practice is a wrong answer. While it might be common practice to mock equal rights, Bill is not attempting to "justify" his rejection of Jill's position by calling attention to a practice that is fairly common.Appeal to Flattery is a wrong answer. No attempt is being made to flatter Jill into accepting a claim. It is likely that Bill's comments about Jill's dress are part of his mockery.Despite his remark about Jill's dress, is it likely that he is primarily trying to flatter Jill into accepting or rejecting a claim?1
