A false dilemma is a type of informal fallacy in which something is falsely claimed to be an "either/or" situation, when in fact there is at least one additional option.
The false dilemma fallacy can also arise simply by accidental omission of additional options rather than by deliberate deception. For example, "Stacey spoke out against capitalism, therefore she must be a communist" (she may be neither capitalist nor communist). "Roger opposed an atheist argument against Christianity, so he must be a Christian" (When it's assumed the opposition by itself means he's a Christian). Roger might be an atheist who disagrees with the logic of some particular argument against Christianity. Additionally, it can be the result of habitual tendency, whatever the cause, to view the world with limited sets of options.
Some philosophers and scholars believe that "unless a distinction can be made rigorous and precise it isn't really a distinction". An exception is analytic philosopher John Searle, who called it an incorrect assumption that produces false dichotomies.Searle insists that "it is a condition of the adequacy of a precise theory of an indeterminate phenomenon that it should precisely characterize that phenomenon as indeterminate; and a distinction is no less a distinction for allowing for a family of related, marginal, diverging cases."Similarly, when two options are presented, they often are, although not always, two extreme points on some spectrum of possibilities; this may lend credence to the larger argument by giving the impression that the options are mutually exclusive of each other, even though they need not be. Furthermore, the options in false dichotomies typically are presented as being collectively exhaustive, in which case the fallacy may be overcome, or at least weakened, by considering other possibilities, or perhaps by considering a whole spectrum of possibilities, as in fuzzy logic.
Answer: The answer is C, will.
Answer:
The energy conversion when a solar cell is used to light a street lamp is Option B: solar energy - electric energy - light and heat energy
Explanation:
From the 'Law of conservation' of energy, energy cannot be 'created' nor it can be destroyed. But we can convert energy from 'one form' to 'other'. The devices that transform energy from one form to another are called transducers.
'Solar cells' also known as the photo voltaic cells. These devices transform light energy into electrical energy directly. When these solar cells are used in a street lamp, it will convert this electrical energy into heat and light energy.
Answer:
<h3>a) imaginary places (a mirage, Xanadu) .</h3>
Explanation:
- For the author, New York was more than just a mere city. She says that it is an infinitely romantic place with love and money and power. She compares New York to Xanadu, an imaginary place, because that is what most people think how New York.
