Question

Marty's persuasive speech was about gun control and school violence. He made the statement, "Either we take guns out of the hands of everyone in this country, except the police and military, or we can expect massacres in schools all over this country." This kind of argument represents a(n) _____.

Answer 1

Answer: Either-or fallacy

Explanation: This type of argument-fallacy that can be used in writing or in public speaking, represents either / or options, that is, two extreme solutions / options, although there are a few other ones that are not so extreme, so there are other solutions. In doing so, only one option can be chosen from these two end choices, so in this case, either the weapons will be seized from the hands of all but the police and military or there will be massacres across the state.That is why this fallacy is also called the black and white fallacy.
