Answer 2

The correct answer is D) Some selfish people don’t want this additional requirement simply because they don’t want people to help or serve other people!

Step-by-step explanation:

Faulty logic occurs during arguments when the speaker provides a reason or evidence that is not completely accurate or is faulty, which is the result of issues in the process of reasoning or using logic. This includes overgeneralizing, using circle reasoning, making assumptions, among others.

Faulty logic can be seen in "Some selfish people don’t want this additional requirement simply because they don’t want people to help or serve other people!" because in this case, the speaker tries to explain the cause for people to refuse serving hours; however, the speaker is making bias assumptions and therefore the reason and argument are invalid or faulty as the speaker does not use logic or evidence.
