Answer:

(b) a fallacy masquerading as a warranted inference

(e) an argument that is worthy of acceptance, if the premises were in fact true

Also, taking note of the statement "it looks like we're stuck" shows a fallacy ( invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning), because there are other options to decide how to go about the purchase.
