ENGL 147N Week 6 Quiz (Logical Fallacies)


Question 1
pts
Match the following Oversimplifying Logical Fallacies to their definitions

Hasty Generalization



These logical fallacies may use language that applies qualifiers (i.e. frequently, occasionally, etc.), but they are based on insufficient or ignored data.




Forced Hypothesis



The reason or justification (hypothesis) is forced because it draws its conclusion from insufficient evidence or overly complex deductions.




Post Hoc Fallacy

Makes the assumption that one event came first, so it must have been the cause of the action.




Overstatement



These are easy to identify because they tend to apply absolutes in their language. Words like all, always, never, every, and never are indicators of these logical fa




Non Sequitur



Here the conclusions are not logically connected to the reasons because the connections are unclear or the reasons are irrelevant.




False Dilemma

Gives the audience just two choices, when more alternatives are actually available.




False Analogy
