A member of a creative writing team was accused by her manager of continually missing deadlines. The member responded to the accusation by saying another team member consistently breaches team regulations, arrives late for work and meetings, and takes too many coffee breaks. Which logical fallacy did the team member commit? a. Red herring b. Hasty generalization c. Either-or d. Bandwagon

The correct option is b) Hasty generalization

Explanation:

A hasty generalization is a condition in which a person applied a belief to a larger population based on the information that he has. As the member who was being accused for missing deadlines generalized his/her behaviour by pointing out that other members also did some faulty acts, hence this shows an example of hasty generalization.
