Which argument is non sequitur fallacy A. The wisdom in the doctor’s words proves her wisdom. B. Elect me as mayor because I have the most money C. Everyone is wearing that jacket, so it must be cool D. A shoplifter like you could never have a wise opinion.

D).  A shoplifter like you could never have a wise opinion.

Explanation:

Non Sequitur fallacy is elucidated as the fallacy in which the conclusion is not logically supported by its premises. It makes the argument flawed and affects the validity of the argument.

The last argument involves a non sequitur fallacy as the conclusion 'you could  never have a wise opinion' does not follow the premises 'a shopkeeper like you.'  The reason fails to justify the conclusion logically which makes the argument flawed and affects its validity. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

B. Elect me as mayor because I have the most money.

Explanation:

Non sequitur fallacy is a type of fallacy that is illogical. This type of fallacy fails to follow a reasonable pattern in making its conclusion. the conclusion given or arrived at has no connection to what has been stated in the previous statements.

In the given sentences, the one with a non sequitur fallacy is the one in which the statement presents a person asking to be elected mayor because of his wealth. There is no connection between the mayorship and money, which leads to the fallacy that the conclusion of being elected mayor is illogical and unrelated to one's financial condition.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
