Question

Is the following statement an inference, a generalization, or neither an inference nor a generalization?

Teenagers prefer rock music to classical or bluegrass.
A. inference
B. generalization
C. neither an inference nor a generalization

Answer 1

It is a generalization. This is correct because it implies that all teenagers prefer rock music, even though it is incorrect as there are also teenagers who like bluegrass or classical. To correct this one should add something like "Most teenagers"
