A fallacy is the use of invalid or faulty reasoning in the construction of an
argument. By appearing to be better than it really is, a fallacious argument may
be misleading. Fallacies may be committed intentionally or unintentionally to
manipulate or persuade by deception.

Study the given examples for each type of fallacy.

Faulty Logic: Since you attended the Teatro at Galaw ng Tayabas dance
workshop, you will be a great dancer than your sister.
Unsupported Facts: Lucbanins are friendlier than Tayabenses.

this.”

state our reasons why we have come up with the decision made.
