Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
We can't let Governor Merritt impose regulations on gas-guzzling cars! Soon enough, he'll start trying to ban all cars!
A: slippery slope fallacy: the false assumption that a small first step will lead to extreme consequences
B: appeal to nature: the assumption that natural things are always good
C: ad hominem: an attack against the person making the argument, rather than the argument itself
The text argues that banning cars with low fuel efficiency would lead to a ban on all cars. However, this argument offers only an extreme outcome and ignores other possible outcomes. For instance, the law may be limited to cars with low fuel efficiency. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as the slippery slope fallacy.
