False dilemma fallacy

The argument either misrepresents the consequences of choices that are available when making a decision, or else it fails to present all the choices available.

The given statement is:

We can go to the amusement park or the library. The amusement park is too expensive, so we must go to the library.

Therefore, the correct answer is the False dilemma.
