Question

multiple-choice question
which do you think is the \moving the goalposts\ fallacy?
saying that columbia heights is the best neighborhood in d.c. because young people like to move there and housing is really expensive.
saying that 16th street heights is richest neighborhood in d.c, and when someone proves you wrong, saying you meant in upper northwest d.c.

Explanation:

The "moving the goalposts" fallacy occurs when someone changes the criteria for a claim after evidence has been presented against the original claim. In the second option, the person initially claims 16th Street Heights is the richest neighborhood in D.C. When proven wrong, they change the criteria (now specifying upper northwest D.C.), which is characteristic of this fallacy. The first option just provides reasons for a claim (Columbia Heights being the best) without changing criteria when faced with counter - evidence.

Answer:

The second option (Saying that 16th Street Heights is richest neighborhood in D.C., and when someone proves you wrong, saying you meant in upper northwest D.C.) is the "moving the goalposts" fallacy.
