Question

read the passage. social media is here to stay. no amount of complaining will change the fact that we live in a computer by a generation who cannot even turn on a media world. increasing access to social media for people who are unfamiliar with it or afraid of using it should be the first step toward making the playing field a bit more even for everyone. the author is thinking of adding one of these sentences to the end of the passage. which sentence by a fallacy? my hope is that our generation can be the generation to create a path, including our success. unless everyone in the u.s. social media our grandparents can successfully use social media, we will be left behind. not everyone needs to have the same passion for social media, but access, though nonessential, will lead to a more aware and active community of users.

Explanation:

A fallacy is a flawed logical argument. Let's analyze each option:

1. The first option is a hopeful claim about the generation's potential, not a logical fallacy.
2. The second option makes an absolute, unsubstantiated claim that everyone including grandparents can "successfully use social media" with no exceptions, which is a hasty generalization (a type of fallacy) as it overstates a possibility as a certainty for all individuals.
3. The third option draws a reasonable distinction between passion and success, with no logical flaw.
4. The fourth option presents a logical, plausible link between access, success, and community engagement, with no fallacy.

Answer:

B. Unless everyone in the U.S. including our grandparents can successfully use social media, we will be left behind.
