Correct answer: D. Fallacy of Equivocationअनेकार्थकता (Equivocation) का तर्कदोष
Explanation
The word 'killing' is used in two different senses: in the first premise it means unjustly killing a person (murder), while in the second it simply means ending a life. Shifting the meaning of a key term within an argument is the fallacy of equivocation.'हत्या' शब्द दो भिन्न अर्थों में प्रयुक्त है: पहले आधार-वाक्य में इसका अर्थ किसी व्यक्ति की अन्यायपूर्ण हत्या है, जबकि दूसरे में केवल जीवन समाप्त करना। तर्क के भीतर किसी मुख्य पद का अर्थ बदल देना अनेकार्थकता (Equivocation) का तर्कदोष है।More Logical Reasoning questions
