    8 INFORMAL FALLACIES

    Name _______________________________ Year & Section ________ Date _______________

    Directions: Identify the fallacies of relevance in each of the following passages. Justify your
    answer.

    1. The President of Lander University will be severely disappointed if Lander does not get
    more funds from the state next year. For this reason the state appropriations should be
    increased. 

    2. I am sure that you will agree that we should all work together to increase the profit of this
    company. Anyone not agreeing with this policy will be fired immediately.

    3. Everyone believes that Lander University is improving its academic programs yearly;
    therefore, I conclude that Lander will be a much higher rated school several years from
    now.

    4. Whenever I wear green socks my logic grade goes up. That is why I save my green socks
    to wear only on the days of the test.

    5. How can we balance the budget, help our farmers, and return to full employment? Only
    one way is clear: vote Republican.
