Answer #1

1. I have experienced logical fallacies many times in my life, especially in the conversations or arguments. When one of my friend gets stressed out she amplifies the magnitude of things. Once it happened that she was unhappy with a marriage proposal and her parents were unwilling to consider her opinion. She got stressed and called me. She said that after her wedding, there will come lots of problems, she will get confined and have a doomed life. All this happened, when the wedding was not confirmed yet.

There was a fallacy in her thinking - slippery slope. In this fallacy, the person believes that an action will trigger a series of events and will end up having a big impact.
