ANS:This
passage contains an argument. The issue is whether building green will actually save
the city money in the long run. The conclusion is that building green will not actually save the
city money in the long run. The first premise is that the CEO of the new green energy firm that
recently moved into town argued that building green will actually save the city money in the long
run. The second premise is that the CEO of the new green energy company is just saying what is
in his company's best interest.
This argument commits the ad hominem fallacy because the arguer attacks the source of
the argument, not the argument itself.
