Identify the logical fallacy in each of the following arguments:
· We must raise taxes to finance the construction of new schools in our community. Otherwise, we will have to close the schools because our students won’t be able to pass the state-required tests.
· Everybody knows you can’t find a decent job in our small town.
· My dentist recommends we vote in favor of the proposition to reduce immigration so you should vote for it too.
· The reason our children don’t do well in math and science is because the stock market went down 300 points last week.
· Sarah grew up in a state that spends less money on education than any state in the country; she could not possibly have any useful ideas about how to improve our children’s test scores on standardized tests.
