the term "logical fallacy" refers to the concept of making an error in terms of reasoning. It is crucial to understand logical fallacies so that they can be identified and avoided when attempting to persuade.

Answer:

A logical fallacy, also called informal fallacy or just fallacy, is type of error in reasoning that renders an argument invalid or undermines a valid argument because the conclusion of the argument does not follow in a logical way from what preceded it.

An example of logical fallacy is: I saw a pidgeon and then I crashed my car. Pidgeons are bad luck.
