the sentences are an example of ____.
○ deductive reasoning
○ a hasty generalization

○ circular reasoning

Explanation:

A hasty generalization draws a broad, absolute conclusion ("Solar power will never work") from a single specific case (one new solar plant facing obstacles), which matches the given sentences. Deductive reasoning uses general premises to reach specific conclusions, inductive reasoning uses specific cases to form a general probable conclusion (not an absolute one), and circular reasoning repeats a claim as proof, none of which fit here.

Answer:

a hasty generalization
