Correct answer: D. Hasty generalisationशीघ्र सामान्यीकरण (Hasty generalisation)
Explanation
A general conclusion about the principal's overall speaking ability is drawn from a single speech heard on one day. Generalising from such an inadequate sample is the fallacy of hasty generalisation. No personal attack (ad hominem), threat (appeal to force) or chain of dire consequences (slippery slope) is involved.एक ही दिन सुने गए एकमात्र भाषण के आधार पर प्रधानाचार्य की समग्र वक्तृत्व क्षमता के बारे में सामान्य निष्कर्ष निकाला गया है। इतने अपर्याप्त प्रतिदर्श से सामान्यीकरण करना शीघ्र सामान्यीकरण (Hasty generalisation) का तर्कदोष है। यहाँ न व्यक्तिगत आक्षेप है, न धमकी, न परिणामों की शृंखला।More Logical Reasoning questions
