Question

Identify the type of logical fallacy used in the following conversation: "Max, I just got a notice from the city about six unpaid parking tickets." "That reminds me, Dad the last time I drove the car, the brakes felt a little soft. We'd better get that checked out to be on the safe side." ad hominem circular reasoning red herring C hasty generalization

Answer 1

The type of logical fallacy used in the conversation is a red herring. Max diverts the conversation from the unpaid parking tickets to the brakes of the car, which is unrelated to the original topic. This diversion is intended to distract from the issue of the unpaid tickets.
