Question

Use the article excerpt to answer the question. What kind of reasoning is demonstrated by the company’s claim in paragraph 3? (1 point) Responses half-truth half-truth gambler’s fallacy gambler’s fallacy fallacy fallacy bias

Answer 1

To accurately assess the type of reasoning demonstrated by the company's claim in paragraph 3, I would need to see the actual excerpt or specific claims made in that paragraph. However, I can provide definitions for the terms mentioned, which might help you identify the reasoning:

1. **Half-truth**: A statement that includes some elements of truth but omits important details or context, leading to a potentially misleading conclusion.

2. **Gambler's fallacy**: The mistaken belief that past independent events affect the probabilities of future independent events, such as believing a coin flip is 'due' to land on heads after several tails in a row.

3. **Fallacy**: A mistaken belief based on unsound arguments; can refer to various types of logical errors in reasoning.

4. **Bias**: A tendency to favor one perspective or outcome over others, which can distort judgment or reasoning.

If you can provide the text from paragraph 3 or summarize its claims, I could help determine which type of reasoning is employed.
