Question

My uncle is a dermatologist (a skin doctor), and he says to take Tummy Tops laxatives instead of Mellow Malt if you have an upset belly because Tummy Tops contains calcium while Mellow Malt has aluminum and magnesium.

Question 2 options:

post hoc

false dilemma

false authority

slippery slope

Answer 1

D.) False Authority

Step-by-step explanation:

An appeal to false authority is when the person providing the argument uses an specific or position to back up the claim when in reality the specific form of authority mentioned is not related to the subject of the claim.

In this example the expert in this subject would be gastroenterologist not a dermatologist.
