Question 3 • IC English 12 - Deering

How are bandwagon appeal and circular reasoning similar?

Answer
A
Both hide the fact that an argument lacks evidence.
B
Both appeal to the desire to be a part of a crowd.
C
Both make a claim with the assumption that it is true.
D
Both compare two ideas to expose differences.

Explanation

Both fallacies can make an argument seem convincing without providing relevant evidence. Bandwagon appeal treats popularity as proof that a claim is true, while circular reasoning repeats or assumes the claim as its own support. So both hide the lack of real evidence; choice A is correct.
