Question

Which of the following words is NOT an example of a signal word for the use of overgeneralization? A. everyone. B. Instead of. C. never D. the best

Answer 1

Answer:

B. or D.

Explanation:

Sorry I can't give you the exact answer. But I can erase 2 of the wrong ones.

Overgeneralization is when you use a vague description to make a claim that is false, which is a logical fallacy. It's basically incorrectly using the law of syllogism. Everyone could easily be used in a overgeneralization:

"Everyone likes this shirt. This shirt is blue. Therefore, everyone likes blue shirts.

Never could also be used in a overgeneralization:

"All cars have wheels. Trains have wheels. Therefore, all cars are trains.

Again, sorry I can't give you the exact answer.
