    Question



    Which of the following is not a fallacy of ambiguity?

    A.

    Equivocation

    B.

    Amphiboly

    C.

    Accent

    D.

    Accident

    Correct option is D


    Accident is not a fallacy of ambiguity. Instead, it is a fallacy that occurs when a general rule is applied to a specific case where the rule is not applicable. Fallacies of ambiguity involve misleading use of language, where a word or phrase may have multiple meanings. The fallacies of ambiguity include:
    · Equivocation: Using a word with multiple meanings in a misleading way.
    · Amphiboly: Ambiguity arising from poor sentence structure.
    · Accent: Ambiguity caused by placing emphasis on certain words or phrases.
    Information Booster: 1. Equivocation: Using a single word in two different senses in the same argument.
    2. Amphiboly: Occurs due to grammatical ambiguity.
    3. Accent: Misleading interpretation caused by emphasizing certain words.
    4. Accident: A logical fallacy where a general rule is misapplied to an exceptional case.
