Question

Which logical fallacy appears in the passage?​

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Post hoc ergo propter hoc

Explanation:

In a Post hoc ergo proper hoc fallacy the speaker considers one event is the cause of another because one event follows the other in time. This implies the speaker incorrectly assumes one event to be the cause of another without real evidence. This occurs in the example presented because the speaker thinks Jalessa being a President is the cause that the school was broken into. However, there is no evidence Jalessa is the direct cause of this event and this cannot be concluded based on the fact the incident occurred after Jalessa became the class president.
