First, carefully read the definitions of the five logical fallacies in the Theoretical Block. Then,
analyze each of the five statements in the Practical Block. Your task is to identify which logical
fallacy is most prominently committed in each statement. Write the corresponding letter (A–
E) in the answer box next to each statement number.

Theoretical Block: Definitions of Fallacies

A. Affirming the Consequent
This fallacy occurs in conditional reasoning. It incorrectly assumes that if a given condition
(A) leads to a certain result (B), then observing that result (B) automatically proves the initial
condition (A) was true. It ignores other potential causes that could lead to the same outcome.

B. False Dilemma (Either/Or Fallacy)
This fallacy unreasonably reduces a complex issue to only two mutually exclusive choices or
sides, thereby creating an artificial sense of limited options. It often presents one option as
obviously unacceptable to force acceptance of the other, ignoring viable middle ground or
alternative solutions.

C. Hasty Generalization
This fallacy involves drawing a broad, general conclusion based on a sample that is too small,
unrepresentative, or insufficient. It fails to consider all relevant variables, exceptions, or the full
scope of evidence, leading to an unreliable or overstated claim.

D. Appeal to Ignorance (Argumentum ad Ignorantiam)
This fallacy asserts that a proposition is true simply because it has not been proven false, or
false because it has not been proven true. It mistakenly treats a lack of definitive evidence as
definitive evidence for or against a claim.

E. Subjectivist Fallacy
This fallacy occurs when someone claims that a proposition is true merely because they
believe it to be true, or because it aligns with their personal feelings, tastes, or values. It
conflates subjective preference or belief with objective truth or valid critique.
Practical Block: Argument Statements

1. Statement on Automation:
"Either we implement a Universal Basic Income to provide for people displaced by robots, or
we must accept mass unemployment and social collapse. There is no other possible path
forward."

2. Statement on Extraterrestrial Life:
"Scientists have not found any definitive proof of alien civilizations despite decades of
searching. This silence from the cosmos is clear evidence that a 'Great Filter'—an evolutionary
catastrophe—must destroy all intelligent species before they can colonize the galaxy."

3. Statement on Conservation Strategy:
"Our wildlife charity successfully saved a local fox population, and the entire forest ecosystem
improved. Therefore, the most efficient global conservation strategy is for all charities to focus
solely on protecting predator species."

4. Statement on International Relations:
"Historical data shows a strong correlation between democratic governance and peaceful
relations between nations. We observe peace between democracies; therefore, democracy must
be the direct and sole cause of this peace."

5. Statement on Art Criticism:
"The director's new film is objectively shallow and commercially driven. I know this because
it lacks the profound emotional grit of their earlier, independent work, which I personally find
far more authentic and meaningful."
