Question

question 6 of 10
which of these is an example of a hasty generalization?

a. hes on the ski team, so he knows how to ski.

b. my dog is the best dog ever because hes so good.

c. if you like mayonnaise, you will like anchovies.

d. shes wearing a green shirt, so green must be her favorite color.

Explanation:

A hasty generalization is drawing a conclusion with insufficient evidence. Option D concludes green is her favorite color just because she's wearing a green shirt (one instance), which is hasty. A: Being on ski team reasonably implies skiing ability. B: Subjective opinion, not generalization. C: Unrelated preference assumption, not hasty generalization.

Answer:

D. She's wearing a green shirt, so green must be her favorite color.
