because doctors are experts about health

Lacey Camacho · Answer 2

Enzo's statement was appealing to the authority because he uses the doctor's expertise to support his claim or idea.

Explanation:

The statement appeals to authority because it uses the experience and expertise of the doctors to lay claim of the fact that schools requires longer resources. This type of appeal is seen to be a fallacy because it is been accepted to be true and the basis that it was been supported by an exert or an authority of which a doctor is one.
