Question

The new Wal-Mart store should be allowed to open without further delay. I was very excited to find out we were going to have one, only to be disappointed by the delay. I really enjoy getting all my shopping done in one stop, and it is really inconvenient for me to drive six miles away when I could go just down the block. Besides, Wal-Mart has great prices; just the other day I stocked up on apple juice for a dollar a bottle.

Answer 1

Answer:

This can be classify by being the following falacy:

A.

Hasty generalization

Explanation:

The person trying to give an argument in order to express the advantages of having Wal-Mart opened up uses a Hasty generalitation when talking about "Wal-Mart having great prices".

This affirmation is not consistent enough, because she is only giving one example to back up the statment:  the store "has great prices". Saying she had a good price in one item, doesn´t mean all the items in the store have a low cost.

A falacy of this type, among other falacys give no valitdation to the argument someones is giving.
