Answer 16

Formal Fallacy – These are also called deductive fallacies. In deductive fallacy arguments, all premises must be accurate and impossible to be proven otherwise. When this is the case, there is no way that the conclusion can be false.
Example of a valid argument: (1) All dogs have legs. (2) Tiny is a dog. Therefore: (3) Tiny has legs.
Informal Fallacy – This is an inductive argument.
Example of a strong inductive argument: (1) The sun has not exploded for all its existence. Therefore: (2) The sun will not explode tomorrow.

Logical and Factual Errors – Any argument in which premises or inferences are poor will result in a fallacious conclusion.
