Question

When Jenny met Jason for the first time, she asked him why he quit drinking. She did so without knowing anything about Jason's drinking habits. In doing so, What fallacies did Jenny commit?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Fallacy of Hasty Generalization.

Explanation:

A hasty generalization is a fallacy in which a conclusion that is reached is not logically justified by sufficient or unbiased evidence.

When one makes a hasty generalization, he or she inputs a belief to a larger population than he or she should, based on the information that he or she has.

For instance, if my sister loves to eat a lot of burger, and she is healthy, I can say that burger is healthy and don't really make a person fat.

In the example above, the generalisation is a little subtle because it is not a direct asertion but an indirect one.

Cheers!
