Read the sentence. a dog bit my sister; all dogs are vicious. which logical fallacy is used in the sentence? a. hasty generalization b. circular reasoning c. ad hominem attack d. red herring

The correct answer is A. Hasty generalization

Explanation:

A logical fallacy is a type of faulty reasoning that occurs as there are issues in the construction of arguments which lead to an argument that might look as valid but are not. In the case of hasty generalization, this occurs when a conclusion is assumed without enough evidence which means the individual has jumped to the conclusion with few or no arguments, such as applying a particular case to a general situation. This type of fallacy is the one presented in the sentence "A dog bit my sister; all dogs are vicious" because this person has jumped into a conclusion "all dogs are vicious" based on only one case or type of evidence and therefore this is an example of hasty generalization.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
