    Eduncle Best Answer

    Mr. x lives in a slums and is unemployed therefore Mr. x deserve to be a minister. It is an ad- misericordium  argument. Ad- misericordium concerning the appeal to pity or a related emotion to gain the acceptance of a conclusion is evaluated.  In other words, pity, or the related emotion is not the subject or the conclusion of the argument.
