Question: 1 / 575

Which one of the following exhibits both of the logical flaws exhibited by the argument above?

Parallel Flaw

The argument in the passage above commits two logical flaws: the first one is assuming that a certain statement is true simply because an authority figure claims it to be true (appeal to authority), and the second one involves drawing a conclusion based on an analogy that is weak or flawed. In this case, option A, Parallel Flaw, best exhibits both of these logical flaws. This choice refers to the situation where the flawed reasoning in the argument is mirrored in another scenario. Option A, Parallel Flaw, is the correct answer as it aligns with both the appeal to authority and flawed analogy presented in the passage. The other options, such as Appeal to Authority, False Dilemma, and Analogical Reasoning, do not capture both of the logical flaws exhibited in the provided argument.
