At the start of Lilly's Friday afternoon biology class, the instructor, Dr. Forrester,
asked everyone to pass their lab reports to the front of the room. She suddenly
realized that she had forgotten all about the assignment. After class, she
approached Dr. Forrester and asked if she could hand her lab report in on
Monday instead. He explained that he was obligated to hold her to the same
deadline as everyone else unless there was a valid reason to make an exception.
Lilly said, "Please, you have to let me finish it this weekend and hand it in on
Monday! If you don't, I may not pass the course, and if that happens, I'll lose my
financial aid and have to drop out of college!" Which type of flawed logic did
Lilly use?

Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer should be D. making a hasty generalization.

Explanation:

She said it herself - she may have to leave college after losing her financial aid, but that might not happen at all. She cannot use this emotional manipulation based on something that may or may not happen - Lilly is making a hasty generalization here without any solid proof.

The type of fallacy or flawed logic is resented by Lily is the fallacy of Begging as she made an argument based on assuming the truth of the conclusion.

Flawed logic or fallacy is the use of faulty or invalid logic to make an argument. There are approximately ten types of fallacies. Some are explained here:

  • Begging  - begging or trying to convince others to support or relief without any good reasoning or truth of the conclusion.
  • Jumping on a bandwagon  - following the trend or doing what everyone else is doing
  • Falling victim to a false cause  - expect to happen something as it has happened before.
  • Hasty generalizations  - assuming on something has very small chances due to the small sample.

Thus, the correct answer would be - Begging.
