Question

Identify the fallacy used in each of the following statements.

 

1. Catwoman Forever must be a good movie because it has been number one on the box office list for 2 weeks now.

 

2. Jacques' claim that French nuclear testing is safe should be rejected because being a Frenchman he is bound to support the French.

 

3. You say that when you were in Russia the living standards were much lower than ours, but we can disregard your observations as you've always supported the Liberal party.

 

4. My assignment is worth a very high achievement. It took me weeks to do and I was up late every night for a week, plus I had to help look after the family.

 

5. Extra-terrestrial aliens and unidentified flying objects have visited earth for sure. Why? Sceptics and scientists have failed to prove they do not exist.

 

Answer 1

There are a lot of logical fallacies here...I would recommend using THE OWL (Purdue University) website to learn and apply them to the examples above. It's a great resource for all things ENGLISH.
