Question

Identify the fallacy/fallacies present in the following passages from the following choices:

Answer 1

1. Generalizing from exception cases (ii). Just because some stressed-out people are in good health does not make it a general rule that stress isn't harmful.
2. Weak analogy (iv). The analogy here is associating Christmas with Halloween and St. Patrick's Day. It is weak because the speaker does not have the necessary information to infer that the students in question drink as much on every holiday.
3. Hasty generalization (i). One example is not enough to generalize to all university parties. Some are probably bad.
4. Weak analogy (iv). Equating a dog to a cat is a mistake, they are wholly different species and their diet recommendations may vary.
