Answer 1

Answer:

I would say B) 70% and (C) Stuben knows that Silvana is meant to be his girlfriend. But I'm not 100% sure sorry I couldn't have been more help

Answer 2

Answer:

2. 70% of students polled do not approve of the principal, so we need a new principal.

Explanation:

A hasty generalization is a fallacy in which we draw a conclusion or make a broad generalization on a topic based only on a specific observation or sample of an action, event, person, etc., instead of looking at sufficient statistics and samples of that topic. Option number two is an example of this fallacy because the students' disapproval of the principal is not sufficient proof to claim that the current principal needs to be removed, there are other factors that need to be taken into account in order to determine that a new principal is needed.
