Answer 1

The type of logical fallacy that Jonah has used is Hasty generalization. That is option D.

What is logical fallacy?

Logical fallacy is defined as those arguments that are based on false logics which may sound convincing but they are false.

Hasty generalisation is defined as the type of fallacy that is being made based on an insufficient evidence about another individual.

From the excerpt given, Jonah is a job seeker for the position of an editor of a school together with other applicants. He said that the other student who wants the position is a horrible writer.

There is no evidence to prove that the student is a bad writer therefore it's a Hasty generalization fallacy.
