Q:

Pretend you are explaining ONE of the six syllogistic fallacies (1. Fallacy of Four Terms, 2. Fallacy of the Undistributed Middle Term, 3. Fallacy of the Illicit Process of the Major Term and the Fallacy of the Illicit Process of the Minor Term, 4. Fallacy of Exclusive Premisses (Fallacy of Two Negative Premisses), 5. Fallacy of Drawing an Affirmative Conclusion from a Negative premise, 6. Existential Fallacy) to a friend who has not taken a logic and critical thinking class. Explain one of the the fallacies in "ordinary" language (try to avoid simply quoting from the text) and illustrate the fallacy with an example.
