The statement is an example of a generalization. This is because the statement is assumming that all individuals who go to community college are poor. Therefore, this is why they cannot go to a four-year college, and instead go to a community college which is far cheaper. This assumption is being applied to all individuals who attend community college, without any further or more-specific information about each individual, therefore generalizing the entire situation.
Since the truck is 8 feet long then the longest log able to fit in the truck should be 8 feet as well. However talking reality, we might want to shorten it to make it fit better. Hope this helps!
