A. The idea that forming a united front against big business will somehow hurt the businesses it is intended to help
B. The mistaken belief that what seems like a good deal for one person will be a good deal when everyone does it
c. The assumption that giant corporations act in the best interest of smaller businesses or landowners
D. The error in judgment that results from putting the value of monetary profits before the value of human employees

Respuesta :

No it is not "the assumption... or landowners". Its "the mistaken belief that what seems like a good deal for one person will still be a good deal when everyone does it". I'm on the test right now and my teacher set it to where I know if I got the answer right or wrong and what I wrote is correct.  Hope this helps.

The correct option is B. The mistaken belief that what seems like a good deal for one person will be a good deal when everyone does it is the fallacy of composition. An informal fallacy known as the fallacy of composition occurs when a person assumes that something is true of the whole because it is true of a particular component of the whole.

What is the opposite of the fallacy of composition?

Similar to the error of composition, but reversed, is the fallacy of division. This misconception occurs when a person assumes that a characteristic of a whole or class must necessarily apply to each part or member.

The mistake of thinking that what is true of each person in a group or component of a whole will also be true of all of them collectively for example, if my money buys more products, I should be better off; hence, we should all be.
