Based on insufficient evidence: A: False dichotomy. B: Authority. C: Hasty generalization.

Uses someone who is not an expert on the issue: A: False dichotomy. B: Authority. C: Hasty generalization.

Identifies only two choices, one of which is not viable: A: False dichotomy. B: Authority. C: Hasty generalization.

Answer 1

based on insufficient evidence; hasty generalization

Uses someone who is not an expert on the issue: authority

Identifies 2 choices, one of which is not viable: false dichotomy

Step-by-step explanation:

in a hasty generalization, a claim is made based on examples instead of actual evidence

In a authority fallacy, a claim is insisted to be true, because someone said that it was true; not only is there no evidence presented, but that person may not even know what they are talking about

In a false dichotomy fallacy, 2 choices are presented in an argument, but there are actually more choices
