The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. And yet she said that she was a real princess. ... Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had felt the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Fallacy can be defined as a mistaken or false belief that are based on illogical arguments or reasoning.
However, a lot of people might actually think it to true but it isn't. There are various types of fallacy, these include; black or white, non sequitur, ad hominem, bandwagon, appeal to authority, straw man, and oversimplification or hasty generalization.
Given the following statement of fallacy;
"The last two mass murderers were from Michigan. Obviously, people from Michigan are dangerous."
Thus, this is Hasty Generalization Fallacy because it isn't logically justified by enough empirical evidence.
Hasty generalization is a type of fallacy that involves making a claim or reaching a conclusion based on very little evidence or instances of an event.
Inveterate in statement 1 means habitual as the definition says always existing, practice, etc. In statement 2, pensively means thoughtfully as the definition says dreamily or suggestively. In statement 3, banal means trite as its definition also says not original or not fresh.
Instead!
The word instead implies that what was said before or after (depending on context) does not apply to something. For example:
“Instead of washing the dishes, I did the laundry...” means that someone did laundry instead of washing the dishes. Instead of connecting ideas, it separates them!
