Respuesta :

Answer:I do believe the answer is C.

Explanation:The answer is C becauseit is the best punctuated sentence.

The statement that most likely exemplifies false causality would be:

C). Test scores have fallen since Caleb became class president; therefore, he has done a terrible job as president.

  • 'False Causality' is described as the logical fallacy in which there is an error in recognizing the cause of a particular outcome.
  • In this fallacy, the cause and effect(outcome) do not have an association with each other which leads to this error.
  • Among the given options, the third statement illustrates this fallacy because the speaker wrongly identifies the cause('falling of test scores since Caleb was selected as the president') for the conclusion that 'he's failed to work efficiently as a president.'

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
