Question
read these sentences.
if the snow continues to fall, we will not be able to leave the house. if we cannot leave the house, we will not be able to get more food and supplies. if we cannot get food or supplies, we may die of starvation.
which type of logical fallacy appears in these sentences?
○ genetic fallacy
○ slippery slope
○ fallacy of single cause
○ correlation proves causation
A slippery slope fallacy assumes a chain of increasingly dire consequences from an initial event without sufficient evidence. Here, snow falling leads to not leaving the house, then no food, then starvation—an exaggerated causal chain. Genetic fallacy attacks origins, single - cause ignores other factors, and correlation - causation confuses association with cause; none fit as well as slippery slope.
