Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
Don't be deceived by Amy Pena's articles on rural, blue-collar workers. Her husband is a fancy investment banker, so she can't possibly understand their situation.
A: appeal to nature: the assumption that natural things are always good
B: guilt by association: a negative association intended to discredit someone or something
C: bandwagon fallacy: the assumption that the popular choice is automatically correct
The text argues that Amy Pena can't understand rural, blue-collar workers because she is associated with an urban newspaper. However, where Amy works doesn't necessarily indicate anything about her ability to empathize. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as guilt by association.
