Question

Read the sentence.

Everyone has access to the latest computers.

What is the sentence’s error in logic?


questionable cause and effect
either/or argument
overgeneralization
circular reasoning

Answer 1

The answer would be "C" overgeneralization.

This is because it's generalizing that everyone in the world has access to a computer which is not true. Overgeneralization could mean that something assumed rather than proven.

Answer 2

The error in logic is overgeneralization because the statement is making a generalization about all people having access to the computers, which isn't necessarily true. (For example, there might be issues with money or location.)
