"Larry Said That the State Is Now Ahead 18-14 in the Football

Multiple Choice

"Larry said that the State is now ahead 18-14 in the football game, but that can't be right. Two minutes ago, the score was tied 14-14, and it's not possible for a team to score 4 points in football. In football, you can only score in increments of 1 (with an extra point) , 3 (with a field goal) , 6 (with a touchdown) , 7 (with a touchdown and extra point) , and 8 (with a touchdown and a two-point conversion) . Obviously, Larry is mistaken." Identify the fallacy that applies to this example.

A) The fallacy of false alternatives
B) The loaded question fallacy
C) The fallacy of inconsistency
D) None of the answers are correct
E) The questionable cause fallacy
