Answer 1

Answer:

This is a blanket statement about something. It is used to as a strategy to convince readers of the truth of the writer's position. It is called a categorical claim.

Explanation:

A categorical claim is a claim that writers used to convince the reader about something by generalizing something about a specific element that is in that category to all the elements that belong to that category. They infer something about a person or object that is not true by contrasting it with other elements of the same category. For example, I can say, my cat loves his mouse toy, so all cats love mouse toys, which is not true.
