Answer 1

Answer: False Analogy

Explanation: Just bc someone else gets to doesn’t ALWAYS mean you get to as well.

Answer 2

False analogy

Step-by-step explanation:

Literally, false analogy is a kind of fallacy that implies that if two items have a certain quality in common, then they must also have other qualities in common.

In the above question;

USPS and the other package delivery services are delivery service companies; that's a common quality (say quality 1)

The statement then goes that, if the other package delivery service makes money (making money, is another quality; say quality 2), then USPS must also have this quality.

This kind of statements are referred to as false analogy.

Because having a common quality A, doesn't translate to having a common quality B
