Explanation:

The terms used here are fallacies and they have been correctly matched to the statements above.

A fallacy is the use of faulty, invalid or inaccurate reasoning to make an argument.

Fallacy is used by us many times in our day to day correspondence with others. We use it to try and 'win' an argument with someone without even knowing we are committing a fallacy.
