I've never seen a question that makes you distinguish them but for what it's worth:

False binary: something is a spectrum, but the argument is acting like it's not (extreme example: Spiderman is not my favorite movie, therefore it is my least favorite movie)

False dichotomy: more than one of two things could be true, but the argument assumes they are mutually exclusive (example: I like vanilla ice cream, therefore I don't like chocolate ice cream)
