Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • "All Americans realize that these creatures deserve the chance to survive" is a bandwagon appeal. It implies that everyone (all Americans) has a certain view, suggesting conformity.
  • "If Congress fails to address this today, then we all lose" is an appeal to emotion. It tries to make Congress feel responsible (guilty) for the "loss" if they don't act.
  • There is no ad hominem (attack on the person) as there is no attack on representatives' character or actions like being distracted. The false dilemma in the options: The statement "If Congress fails...we all lose" creates a false choice (either Congress acts or all lose), which is a form of false dilemma (the idea that there are only two extreme options - act or all lose). And "All Americans realize..." is a bandwagon (suggesting everyone is on board).

Answer:

An appeal to emotion is used to make Congress feel guilty if they do not support the legislation. A bandwagon appeal is used to suggest that every American wants to help endangered species. A false dilemma is used to introduce the idea that the legislation will save us all.
