Question

“I cant believe you skipped class last week,” said Mark, “Now you’re going to end up unemployed and homeless, too!” Which fallacy does Mark commit? a) none b) hasty generalization c) poisoning the well d) genetic fallacy e) slippery slope

Answer 1

Mark is making a huge leap from someone missing a class to becoming jobless and homeless. Does this seem like a logical result of skipping a class? How well has Mark developed a theory? Are there facts to back it up, or is his logic faulty?
