Write one or two sentences that illustrate an original example of post hoc. then write two or three sentences explaining why this is an example of post hoc. use proper spelling and grammar.

Post hoc is a logical sequence that triggers fallacy due to causation. This states that since Event X follows after Event Y, therefore, Event Y was caused by Event X. For example,

Laney borrowed my laptop to do her project. When she returned it to me, I found out that all my email messages were deleted. Therefore, Laney deleted them.

This cannot be necessarily true all the time. I may have accidentally deleted them through my phone. Laney may not have logged in to my email account. Hence, post hoc is a logical fallacy.
