What logical fallacy is Karen committing?
O Equivocation
O Begging the Question
O Hasty Generalization
O False Dichotomy

Answer 1

Answer: Hasty Generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

• Equivocation- The use of ambiguous language to conceal the truth or to avoid committing oneself; prevarication.

• Begging the Question- Begging the question is a logical fallacy in which an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion.

• Hasty Generalization- The hasty generalization fallacy is sometimes called the over-generalization fallacy. It is basically making a claim based on evidence that it is just too small. Essentially, you can't make a claim and say that something is true if you have only an example or two as evidence.

• False Dichotomy- Is an informal fallacy based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available. The source of the fallacy lies not in an invalid form of inference but in a false premise.
