Kenley · Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Non sequitur

Explanation:

In the non sequitur fallacy, the speaker provides a reason or consequence that is not logically connected to the first statement provided. This means there was not a logical process in the construction of the proposition and this makes it invalid.

This occurs in "Roger is good at baseball. He would make a great class president" because the consequence "He would make a great class president" is not logically connected to the first statement considering skills at a specific sport do not make you good at politics or being a leader. Indeed, these are two separate aspects that are no logically connected.
