Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Correct Answer: C Non-sequitur (Latin for "it does not follow") is a logical fallacy where the conclusion does not logically follow from the premises. It breaks the rules of logical reasoning. Example: Premise: She drives a BMW. Conclusion: She must be rich and successful. The conclusion ("She must be rich and successful") does not logically follow from the premise ("She drives a BMW"). There could be many reasons someone drives a BMW: leasing, used purchase, debt, gift, etc. The conclusion assumes something without a logical link to the premise.
