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!Which logical fallacy appears in this passage?

Answer 1

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, consequence, "after that". 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 the wrong use of reasoning, a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument which invalids the argument. A fallacy usually seems better than it really is and some of them are committed intentionally to manipulate. Fallacies intend to mislead in order to make false inferences seem real.

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. What would determine if a person is able to get into college are several other skill parameters and circumstances. Not understanding the importance of a deadline doesn't lead one to fail the attempt of getting into college, nor it determines if a person will or will not get a good job.
