Logic Fallacy

Question 1

Affirming the consequent

Answer 1

When an implication is read the wrong way.

If the wind is strong, the clothes dry quickly.
The clothes have dried quickly, therefore the wind must be strong.

Question 2

Denying the antecedent

Answer 2

Misinterpreting an implication as an equivalence

The wind is strong, the clothes dry quickly.
However, the wind is gentle, so the clothes will take a long time to dry.

Question 3

Begging the question / circular argument

Answer 3

A conclusion derived from itself.

Question 4

Undistributed middle

Answer 4

Where the middle term does not (necessarily) refer to the same thing in both cases.

Some Cretans are liars. Some Cretans are Christians.
Therefore some Christians are liars.

Question 5

Argument ad hominem

Answer 5

Denying the claim by attacking the person instead of the evidence.
Eg. He is a liar, therefore this isn’t true.
