question 3 (20 points) \\ saved \\ fallacy where one uses a word (the same word) in more than one sense. \\ ad hominem \\ begging the question \\ equivocation \\ circular reasoning \\ question 4 (20 points) \\ saved \\ fallacy where the assertion of another is taken as truth or valid without demonstrating the validity of the sources for which that person makes their claim. \\ ad hominem \\ equivocation \\ false dilemma \\ appeal to authority

Explanation:

Response
Question 3
Brief Explanations

The fallacy where a word is used in multiple senses is called equivocation. Ad hominem attacks the person, begging the question assumes the conclusion, and circular reasoning uses the conclusion as a premise. So the correct option is the one labeled "equivocation".

Brief Explanations

The fallacy of appealing to authority uses an authority's claim without demonstrating its validity. Ad hominem attacks the person, equivocation uses a word in multiple senses, and false dilemma presents a false choice. So the correct option is "appeal to authority".
