Answer 1

- Hasty generalization — rushing to make a conclusion before gathering adequate evidence
- Anecdotal evidence (appeal to anecdote) — trying to prove a point using only personal experience or an individual example
- False dilemma (false dichotomy) — falsely presenting an argument as having only two choices and ignoring other possibilities
- Slippery slope — illogically concluding that something will lead to something else without gathering enough support
