Critical Thoughts And Expression

So the class that I am taking is critical thoughts and experssion and I need help with mathcing the definitions I have with the correct fallacy. I have done 4 but I need help with the rest could you please help me.

The first definition is: "there is no point in studying for the test as I won't know all the answers!"

The second definition is: "most of the students seem to think that Fred stole another student’s wallet, so it must be true!"

The third definition is: "I have decided that it’s fine to be rude to people who ring me up and ask me to donate to charity. After all, I am pretty sure some of those calls are a hoax!"

The fourth definition is: "you keep letting this kid choose what bit of his homework he wants to do first. We cannot parent together properly if you are going to spoil him rotten."

The fifth definition is: "please don’t offer me any advice about how to look after my wife. After all, you have been married three times and even your third wife ran off with another man!"

The sixth definition is: "everyone eats fatty food at some time or another. That’s why there is no point trying to regulate what is sold at school or university canteens!"

And these are the fallacies: two wrongs make a right, the fallacy of majority belief, common practice, the perfectionist fallacy, straw man, and appeal to hypocrisy
