Jawaban dan Penjelasan

Berikut ini adalah pilihan jawaban terbaik dari pertanyaan diatas.

Jawaban:

1. Error reasoning: Hasty overgeneralization.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that lawyers know all the laws does not mean they are experts in all fields. Therefore, it is hasty to assume that a law firm would know about Newton's laws.

2. Error reasoning: Either-or-assumption.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that the last general election in Indonesia was peaceful and successful does not necessarily mean that most Indonesians are truly democratic. There are other factors that need to be taken into account.

3. Error reasoning: Attack on the person.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that a candidate's skirts are too short does not reflect her qualifications for the job. The author is attacking the person, not the candidate's ability to do the job.

4. Error reasoning: False analogy.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that humans do not like to be killed does not mean it is cruel to kill fowls for food. Fowls are not human beings and do not have the same rights.

5. Error reasoning: Either-or-assumption.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that one is either with God or against him is not necessarily true. There may be other positions, such as not believing in God at all.

6. Error reasoning: Circular argument.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that the priest should be happy with the author because he has faith that his son will do well in school does not necessarily mean that the priest's advice to have faith is valid.

7. Error reasoning: Circular argument.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that you must obey the law because it's illegal to break the law is a circular argument and does not provide a valid reason for obeying the law.

8. Error reasoning: Attack on the person.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that Marx spent all his time in the library does not necessarily mean his theories are bunk. The author is attacking the person, not the validity of Marx's theories.

9. Error reasoning: False analogy.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that torturing babies for fun is wrong does not necessarily mean there are objective rights and wrongs in the universe. Torturing babies is wrong because it causes harm and suffering to innocent beings, not because it goes against some objective morality in the universe.

10. Error reasoning: False analogy.

The author's position is not adequately supported. The fact that humans are not immortal does not necessarily mean they cannot live for a long time, just as a car can run for a long time if properly maintained. The analogy is false and does not support the author's position.
