Answer 1

• 1.Strawman fallacy-Substituting a person’s actual position or argument with a distorted, exaggerated, or misrepresented version of the position of the argument.
• A strawman argument is a fallacious argument that distorts an opposing stance in order to make it easier to attack. Essentially, the person using the strawman pretends to attack their opponent’s stance, while in reality they are actually attacking a distorted version of that stance which their opponent doesn’t necessarily support.
• 4.Red herring fallacy- Attempting to redirect the argument to another issue to which the person doing the redirecting can better respond. While it is similar to the avoiding the issue fallacy, the red herring is a deliberate diversion of attention with the intention of trying to abandon the original argument.
