There are times when people speak the same language yet cannot communicate because they are relying on different sets of: hint 3
eduard

It is true that sometimes communication is not possible because of different facts such as:  

A: Background knowledge: if there is communication between two or more people but they don’t share the same background, it is probably that a clash of knowledge would appear.

B: Assumptions: it is said in the Tolteic philosophy: 1st Agreement: “Don’t make assumptions”. If you create and state assumptions about what other people said, you will be misunderstanding many messages.

C: Dialect: sometimes this is a problem since there are some words that has a different meaning or they are pronounced differently so this, too, can create non-communication.

Which of the following is an example of a false dilemma fallacy?
Lena [83]

Answer:

The answer is B. Yesenia can either take a cooking class, or she can be a horrible cook for the rest of her life.

Explanation:

A false dilemma fallacy is a kind of 'informal' fallacy. This is where something is incorectly claimed to be an "either/or" situation, when however, there is at least one additional option. The false dilemma fallacy can also be where there is a accidental exclusion of another option.

For example, if I say, "You can either brush your teeth with the blue toothbrush, or not brush your teeth at all." Yet, I forgot that we can grab another color toothbrush before you have to brush your teeth at the store.
