Which of the following fallacies is used in the sentences below? Elephants are the most hideous creatures. Their huge sagging trunk is merely oversized nose that only gets in the way. The awkward waddling, if it could be termed walking, makes them the most awkward beasts on earth.

The gorilla on the other hand, is graceful in movement. Observers can see them dance through the air as they swing calmly from tree too tree limb. When they eat they gently handle the food as they carry it from the ground to their mouths.

The fallacy used in the sentences is "hasty generalization," as it makes broad and sweeping statements about elephants and gorillas based on limited or selective observations, without providing comprehensive evidence.
