The correct answer to which logical fallacy appears in the passage "If I let you turn in your assignment late, then you won't understand the importance of deadlines. Then you won't be able to get into college and get a good job" is when the speaker states the second sentence, following the previous one with the connector "then", which expresses continuity in time, <em>consequence, "after that"</em>. So, the reader can infer that the second sentence is a natural consequence of the first one, something that would happen subsequently naturally, which configures a logical fallacy.
A logical fallacy is <em>the wrong use of reasoning, a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument which invalids the argument.</em> A fallacy usually <em>seems better than it really is </em>and some of them are committed intentionally to manipulate. Fallacies <em>intend to mislead in order to make false inferences seem real.</em>
<em>Nothing can lead the speaker to deduct that if a person doesn't understand the importance of a deadline, it would be a following natural consequence that this same person would be unable to get into college or get a good job.</em> What would determine if a person is able to get into college are <em>several other skill parameters and circumstances</em>. Not understanding the importance of a deadline <em>doesn't lead one to fail the attempt of getting into college</em>, nor it determines if a person will or will not get a good job.
