Logical Fallacies Worksheet (Cumulative) featuring a table of common fallacies and real-world examples for educational use.

Looking at the image, I can see it’s a “Logical Fallacies Worksheet (Cumulative)” with a table matching fallacy names to descriptions and examples, followed by 7 multiple-choice questions testing understanding of logical fallacies.

Since the user didn’t specify which question to solve — and no single question is highlighted — I’ll assume they want help understanding how to approach these types of questions, or perhaps they want me to solve one as an example. But since the instruction says “solve the problem accurately” and there’s no specific problem marked, I’ll pick Question 1 as a representative example to demonstrate how to think through these.

Let’s go step by step for Question 1:

Question 1:
> The word is used to be “Screaming Mummies.” In this case, the use of the phrase would not come up without the same name. I would change the name to the even stronger “Screaming Girl”

This is poorly worded, but let’s try to interpret it.

It seems to be saying: Someone changed a name from “Screaming Mummies” to “Screaming Girl,” and the argument is that because the original name wasn’t used anymore, changing it to something “stronger” is justified — or maybe it’s implying that because the old name is gone, the new one must be better? That doesn’t make logical sense.

Actually, rereading: “The word is used to be ‘Screaming Mummies.’ In this case, the use of the phrase would not come up without the same name.” — This is confusing. Maybe it’s trying to say: “The term was once called ‘Screaming Mummies,’ but now we’re calling it ‘Screaming Girl’ — and that’s fine because the old name isn’t being used anymore.”

But that’s not really a fallacy — unless the argument is: “We can call it ‘Screaming Girl’ because no one calls it ‘Screaming Mummies’ anymore” — which is irrelevant. The real issue is whether the new name is appropriate or accurate.

Wait — perhaps the intended meaning is: “Someone wants to rename something from ‘Screaming Mummies’ to ‘Screaming Girl’ just because the old name isn’t popular anymore — but that doesn’t mean the new name is better or correct.”

That sounds like an Appeal to Popularity or Bandwagon Fallacy — assuming something is right or good just because it’s popular or commonly accepted.

But looking at the options in the table:

- Ad Hominem
- False Cause
- Slippery Slope
- Bandwagon
- Straw Man
- Circular Reasoning
- Hasty Generalization
- Red Herring
- False Dilemma
- Appeal to Authority

None of those perfectly fit... unless it’s Bandwagon — if the reasoning is “we should use ‘Screaming Girl’ because everyone else is using it” or “because the old name is outdated.”

Alternatively, maybe it’s Red Herring — diverting attention from the real issue (what the thing actually is) to the name.

But honestly, the question is very unclear. Let me look at the other questions to see if there’s a pattern.

Question 2:
> A person claims that because a movie has a lot of action, it must also be funny. There is no reason to believe that action movies are automatically funny.

This is clearly False Cause — assuming that because two things happen together (action and humor), one causes the other, or that one implies the other.

Question 3:
> Children of the school have been exposed to an argument for the opening of a new gymnasium. Therefore, the children will support the opening of the new gymnasium.

This is Hasty Generalization — assuming all children will support it based on exposure, without evidence.

Question 4:
> Employees are sick and so are the parents. This is a mistake to conclude that one causes the other.

Again, False Cause — assuming causation from correlation.

Question 5:
> Should allow one vote for the people in public polls that have been taken. There is no reason to believe that the people in public polls are representative of the entire population.

This is Hasty Generalization — generalizing from a non-representative sample.

Question 6:
> The group of congressional representatives were sued if all of them have had public officials arrested. It would be incorrect to assume that every person in the group is guilty of a crime.

This is Hasty Generalization again — assuming all members are guilty because some are.

Question 7:
> The city of Los Angeles has a problem with public parks. The city of Los Angeles, California, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, and San Diego have changed their laws to allow same-sex marriage, so it is reasonable to assume that Los Angeles has changed its laws to allow same-sex marriage.

This is False Cause or Non Sequitur — assuming that because other cities did something, LA must have too, without evidence.

Back to Question 1 — given the confusion, perhaps the intended fallacy is Bandwagon, if the argument is “we should change the name because the old one isn’t used anymore” — implying popularity justifies the change.

But actually, re-reading: “The word is used to be ‘Screaming Mummies.’ In this case, the use of the phrase would not come up without the same name. I would change the name to the even stronger ‘Screaming Girl’”

This might be trying to say: “Because the old name isn’t used, we can use a new one — and ‘Screaming Girl’ is stronger.” But that’s not a fallacy — unless the argument is that the new name is better just because it’s different or “stronger” without justification.

Perhaps it’s Appeal to Emotion — using “stronger” to imply emotional impact rather than logic.

But “Appeal to Emotion” isn’t in the table.

Looking again at the table, the closest might be Bandwagon — if the reasoning is “everyone else is changing names, so we should too.”

Or Red Herring — changing the subject from what the thing actually is to what it’s called.

Given the ambiguity, and since this is likely a test question, I’ll go with Bandwagon as the most plausible answer for Question 1, assuming the argument is that the name should be changed because the old one is no longer used (i.e., following the crowd).

But wait — let’s check the answer key style. The worksheet probably expects students to match each question to one of the fallacies listed.

For Question 1, if we interpret it as: “We should use ‘Screaming Girl’ because the old name ‘Screaming Mummies’ is no longer used” — that’s not a fallacy per se, but if the argument is “it’s better because it’s new” or “because others are doing it,” then it’s Bandwagon.

Alternatively, it could be False Cause — assuming that because the old name is gone, the new one is appropriate.

I think I need to make a decision.

Let me choose Bandwagon for Question 1, as it’s the most common fallacy associated with changing things because “everyone else is doing it” or “the old way is outdated.”

Final Answer for Question 1: Bandwagon

But since the user didn’t specify which question, and the instruction is to “solve the problem,” I’ll provide the answer for Question 1 as an example.

If the user wants a different question solved, they can specify.

Final Answer: Bandwagon
