Question

Which is an example of authority

Answer 1

Answer:

A: Identifying only two options and ignoring others  is an example of authority.

Explanation:

‘’Authority’’ always refers to an official ability or position to take a decision or perform an action. So, example of authority would be when one Identifies only two options and ignores the other. The person might have authority to do so.

Other options are incorrect as ‘’ Basing a conclusion on insufficient evidence’’ is a hasty generalisation as per option B.  Option C, ‘’Incorrectly suggesting that one thing caused another’’ is also not an example of authority as the person who is in authority is answerable for his actions. Similarly, ‘’ Citing a source who is not an expert on the topic’’ is also an incorrect option since the authority need to take care of the organisation and he would try to minimise the risks instead of maximizing it.
