Question

If a speaker lets their audience conclude that a recent uptick in traffic fatalities was due to an intersection that needed a stoplight when, in reality, the passengers in the accidents the speaker was referring to were not wearing seatbelts, this is an example of a false inference. passengers O A. true O B. False ​

Answer 1

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker's statement is not an example of a false inference. Instead, it's an example of a misleading or deceptive argument. The speaker is leading the audience to conclude that the uptick in traffic fatalities was due to the lack of a stoplight at the intersection, when in fact, the accidents were primarily caused by the passengers not wearing seatbelts. This is a manipulation of information to mislead the audience, but it's not a false inference in the traditional sense of drawing an incorrect conclusion from given premises.
