Question

read the following passage. then answer the question that follows.
susie and elmira are both eating veggie burgers and salads. because susie is a vegetarian, elmira must be a vegetarian too.
what type of logical fallacy is the above passage?
bandwagon
false analogy
hasty generalization
red herring

Explanation:

A hasty generalization fallacy occurs when a conclusion is drawn from insufficient evidence. Here, the fact that Susie (one person) is a vegetarian and Elmira eats similar food is used to conclude Elmira is a vegetarian, using a small sample (Susie's diet and status) to generalize about Elmira. Bandwagon is following a trend, false analogy compares unrelated things, and red herring distracts; none fit as well as hasty generalization.

Answer:

Hasty generalization
