1) This picture is showing that jack in the box is falsely advertising. 2) In the advertisement the taco is twice the size of its original size. The text shows that the tacos on the left are the largest pair that you can purchase, but it obviously does not add up to the expectations that the advertisement puts forth. 3) This shows that not all advertisements are truthful and a lot of them falsley protray their object. 4) Whether or not we should listen to the advertisements without first checking out the product ourselves.

Appeal to Ignorance We believe that this is an appeal to ignorance because he is claiming that just because he is rich, nothing will affect him. The audience would have to see his claim as a proven fact for it to be true or vice versa. Global warming affects how people live no matter if you are rich or poor; you can’t pay off global warming because it will always be there.
