Answer 2

B. false or mistaken idea often based on illogical or invalid reasoning and facts

Step-by-step explanation:

Fallacy is reasoning that seems logical and true, but there is some flaw that makes it false.

Fallacies are constructed by seemingly correct reasoning that leads to false conclusions. This type of argument is very present in the essay texts.

The fallacy was a resource used by Aristotle, Scholasticism, Demagogy and serves as a figure of language in discourse and argumentative themes.
