Identify which logical fallacy takes place in the example.

English

Answer:

A. Non sequitur

Explanation:

Non Sequitur is a type of logical fallacy that forms a conclusion or response that is not logically connected to the previous statement.

From the example, <em><u>Ever since the new casino opened unemployment in this city has gotten out of control </u></em>, there is no logical connection between the increased unemployment in the city and the new casino.

There would have been a logical conclusion if the statement was written like this,

<em>People who are caught gambling are fired, so since the new casino opened, the unemployment in the city has gotten out of control.</em>

<em></em>

People who are caught gambling are fired is the premise and connects the next statements about unemployment rates increasing and the new casino in town.

Therefore, the logical fallacy that takes place is Non sequitur as it has no logical connection to the premise.
