Question

Which is a non sequitur??

Answer 1

Hello there! The answer is D.

A non sequitur basically means something is illogical and not true, and not backed up by anything. D would be a sequitur since there is no proof runners are more fit than swimmers, and the fact that swimming "is a good exercise" is also true about running.

I hope this helps and have a great day!

Answer 2

Answer:

Swimming is good exercise, so swimmers are more fit than runners.

Explanation:

A non sequitur is a faulty logical connection between ideas.

Swimming may be a very good exercise, but that does not make swimmers more fit than runners. As we see, the conclusion (swimmers are more fit than runners) has nothing to do with the original statement (swimming is good exercise), and that is why this option is a non sequitur.
