Read the passage.

(1) With time and effort, we can replace fossil fuels with alternative sources of energy. (2) Alternative energy sources can help save the planet. (3) Unfortunately, most people use fossil fuels in their daily lives, so they will continue to use them unnecessarily. (4) Still, if enough citizens do their research and see the benefits of alternative energy, then we can turn the tide in our favor. (5) For example, using just 19 percent of unclaimed desert areas for solar installations could provide electricity for the entire nation. (6) If each individual who believes that alternative energy can make a difference takes a step away from fossil fuel use, then we can change the world.

by revising sentence 3 to eliminate the use of circular reasoning

by revising sentence 6 to eliminate the use of hasty generalization

When reading this passage, the two sentences that cause me the most pause and rereading were sentences 3 and 6. This was my first indication that these two sentence were in need of revision. Looking at all the answer options, adding or deleting transition words would not add to or help the clarity of sentence 1, 2, or 4. Eliminating the circular reasoning in sentence 3 would help this sentence because it basically says in a round about way that people are going to continue to use fossil fuels because they use them now. This says the same thing twice. Sentence 6 is confusing because it is too wordy. By eliminating the hasty generalization the sentence becomes clearer and more concise.

The most adequate revision to the given paragraph in order to eliminate the logical fallacy of the given passage and make it more clear would be:

B). by adding the transition Additionally to the beginning of sentence 2

C). by revising sentence 3 to eliminate the use of circular reasoning

  • "Logical Fallacies" falter the impact and clarity of the intended meaning and purpose of the text.
  • While transition words assist in bridging the gap between two ideas by acting as fillers and promoting a smooth flow of ideas and better understanding.
  • In the given passage, the use of transition "additionally" prior to the start of sentence 2 will associate the ideas and make it more impactful.
  • The revision of sentence 3 to remove circular logic will provide it clarity and enhance its validity and efficacy.

Thus, options B and C are the correct answers.
