Question

read the argument below:
my cousins school just changed to a 6 a.m. start time, and everybody liked the change. that means an earlier start time would be good for our school.
what kind of logical fallacy is used here?
a. logical deduction
b. hasty generalization
c. non sequitur
d. circular reasoning

Explanation:

The argument uses a single example (cousin's school) to make a broad claim about "our school," which is a hasty generalization—drawing a conclusion from insufficient evidence. Option A is incorrect because logical deduction is valid reasoning, not a fallacy. Option C (non sequitur) involves a conclusion unrelated to premises, and option D (circular reasoning) repeats the claim as evidence, neither matching the argument here.

Answer:

B. Hasty generalization
