Which type of fallacy uses circular reasoning to support an argument?

A. genetic fallacy

B. begging the claim

C. hasty generalization

D. ad populum

(ANSWER IS B ON EDG!!)

The answer is indeed letter B. begging the claim.

Explanation:

A fallacy consists of faulty reasoning used to build and support an argument. Circular reasoning happens when the argument repeats itself without being proven right. For instance: I am happy because I am not sad. One point does not explain the other. If you are happy, you are not sad. If you are not sad, you are happy. We still don't know why you are happy, though. Something similar can happen in the type of fallacy known as begging the claim. Begging the claim occurs when no support is offered for the conclusion; the premises simply assume the conclusion is true. For instance: Alcohol causes cancer because alcohol is a carcinogen. This sentence is basically stating that alcohol causes cancer because it causes cancer... It does not prove or explain anything, it simply assumes the argument is true. Therefore, we can see that begging the claim is a fallacy that uses circular reasoning.

The answer is B. Begging The Claim

I just took the test and chose D. ad populum and it was incorrect!

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )
