Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

I have no idea what poisoning well is

Answer 6

According to Google:

Poisoning the well (or attempting to poison the well) is a rhetorical device where adverse information about a target is pre-emptively presented to an audience, with the intention of discrediting or ridiculing everything that the target person is about to say.

Answer 7

It is not poisoning the well.

So, the person is saying that due to the one babysitter being mean, they are concluding that all babysitters are mean.

By concluding this, they are making a hasty generalization.
