Analyze the persuasive techniques

We need to match each logical fallacy on the left to its correct description on the right. This involves applying our understanding of Persuasive Techniques and logical fallacies.

Define ad hominem

The term "ad hominem" is Latin for "to the person." This fallacy occurs when an arguer attacks the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument rather than addressing the substance of the argument itself.

• Match: "attacks person rather than argument"

Define hasty generalization

A "hasty generalization" occurs when a person draws a broad conclusion based on a sample size that is too small or biased, rather than looking at sufficient evidence.

• Match: "uses insufficient evidence"

Define false dilemma

A "false dilemma" (or black-and-white fallacy) presents a choice between two mutually exclusive options when, in fact, there are other viable alternatives available.

• Match: "offers a limited number of options"
