Answer:

Conjunction Fallacy

Explanation:

The Conjunction Fallacy is a formal fallacy when one uses evidence that a combination-- or conjunction-- of two possible events are more likely than one of the other events. The speaker only uses two events: "...that the Yankes lose the first game of the series, or that they lose the first game and come back to win?" <em>and </em>combines the two in the latter pondering.

The Base Rate Fallacy is a paradox that explains situations where there is more than one false factoid of evidence. The speaker doesn't address false evidence and decide upon it, so this can't be the answer.

The fallacy (law) of small numbers is an informal fallacy when one reaches a decision based on insufficient evidence. While it's true that the speaker doesn't have enough evidence, they also don't have any-- thence the answer is the Conjunction Fallacy.

The Regression to the Mean fallacy is an informal fallacy when one explains something by its probabilistic nature-- not based on evidence. The speaker explains that they simply "...expect the Yankees to win the series, so [they'll] take the second choice."

Which of the following inferences about Mrs. Song is best supported by the text? ​
Aneli [31]

Hello. You did not indicate the text you are referring to, nor did you enter the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. But I will try to help you by showing you how to find inferences supported by the text.

An inference is a conclusion about something, which is drawn from evidence and supporting details that the text exposes. In other words, an inference is a conclusion that you can draw from the interpretation of the text.

In this case, for you to find the inference in the text, you must recognize what the characteristics of Mrs. Song are portrayed in the text. For example, if Mrs. Song is a person who, in the text, is portrayed as someone who is always helping the needy and participating in charity and community events, we can infer that she is a charitable and progressive person.
