Question

John says that the Pac-10 is the best conference in college football. He should know, because he is a starter for one of the best football teams in the PAC-10. That’s reason for me to believe that the pac-10 is the best!
A. The fallacy of suppressed evidence
B. Complex question
C. No fallacy
D. Fallacy of division
E. False dichotomy

Answer 1

Answer:

E. False dichotomy

Explanation:

Considering the situation described in the question above, the correct answer is "False dichotomy"

This is because False dichotomy is a form of logical fallacy which normally arises when a restricted amount of choices are wrongly submitted as being the only options that are available on an occasion where that is certainly not the issue.

Hence, in this case, the only option that is wrong submitted and available to choose in the premise of the argument as the best conference in college football is Pac-10.

Therefore, this is a perfect example of FALSE DICHOTOMY
