Question

question 5 of 10 which statement is an example of a bandwagon fallacy? a. she is a mean teacher, so her classes must be really terrible. b. you went to the mall, and now we dont have any milk left. c. everyone loves that new book, so it must be the best book of the year. d. she is the best actress because she is a really good performer.

Explanation:

The bandwagon fallacy occurs when one assumes something is true or good just because many people think so. In option C, the claim that a book is the best of the year just because everyone loves it is an example of this fallacy. Option A is an ad - hominem fallacy (attacking the person instead of the argument), option B is a false - cause fallacy (assuming a causal link without proper evidence), and option D is circular reasoning (the conclusion is the same as the premise).

Answer:

C. Everyone loves that new book, so it must be the best book of the year.
