Appeal to Popularity
False Cause
Appeal to Ignorance
Hasty Generalization
Limited Choice
Appeal to Emotion
Personal Attack (ad hominem)

What logical fallacies are represented in the advertisements you found?
What are some reasons for your skepticism?
Based upon your examination, how would you redo the advertisement to make it more truthful? Would this be possible?

Do the advertisement examples fit the logical fallacies stated? Explain.

I really appreciate the work all your amazing writers do to ensure that my papers are always delivered on time and always of the highest quality. I was at a crossroads last semester and I almost dropped out of school because of the many issues that were bombarding but I am glad a friend referred me to you guys. You came up big for me and continue to do so. I just wish I knew about your services earlier.
