Explanation:

Answer 2

The kind of reasoning fallacy that Eric is employing in the given situation would be:

- Post Hoc Fallacy

• "Post Hoc Fallacy" is described as the defect/fault in the reasoning of an argument in which the author is confused between the chronological order of events and the causes that led them to happen.
• For example, if an event is followed by another, the prior event would have been the cause of the latter.
• Similarly, in the given situation, the "post-hoc fallacy" is displayed because the statement "it is good to be patriotic" is wrongly taken as the cause of the later statement "We should all support the war."

Thus, 'post hoc' is the correct answer.
