Explanation / Answer

1. The answer is TRUE

This is because in the accident fallacy the general rule is applied to all cases, like for examples “all birds can fly” however penguins don’t fly, hence the fallacy.

2. The answer is TRUE.

This is because in the fallacy there is presentation of an argument which may or may not be illogical and it isn’t true to the question in concern.

3. The answer is FALSE

This is because in the fallacy it is restating what is said in the argument in other words, but meaning the same exact thing.

4. The answer is TRUE

The premises of the false cause are casual assumptions that one event follows the other just by the virtue that those interrelated events occurred one after the other. For example “someone became a leader as they are short”

5. The answer is TRUE.

The fallacy is one where there is a hasty generalization and exception of a rule/ idea which is exceptional but is regarded as the general rule for the given situation.

6. The answer is FALSE CAUSE.

This is so as people are asked to keep candles and etc as there was a power cut. In this fallacy the events occurred one after the other so they are related, so the argument is such.

7. The answer is PETITO PRINCIPII , as whatever has been said in the book is rephrased and presented as nothing not known is not mentioned.

8. The answer is CONVERSE ACCIDENT. This is so as one date gone wrong is regarded as all guys being unsuitable for a relationship. It is a hasty generalization.

9. The answer is “answer with a complex question” , this is so as in this COMPLEX QUESTION fallacy the complex question is one that has said to be worded so as to be making it more true.

10. The answer is ACCIDENT. This is so as a rule of everyone should tell the truth the CIA should also do so, and in this fallacy the general rule of thumb should be applied.
