Support Many conceptual categories are parts of dichotomous (distinct and mutually exclusive) pairs: good or bad, right or wrong, rational or irrational, etc. ████████ ████████ ██ ██████████ █████████████ ████ █████ ████ █████████ ███████████ ██ ██ ██████████ ████ ████ █████ ████ ███████████████ ██ ████ ███████ ███ ███████ █████ ██████ ███ ██ █████████ ████ ██████ ███ ████ ██████ ██████████ ███████████ ███████████████ ████ ████████ █████████ ██████████ ██████ █████████ ██ ██████████
The author states that there are some long-held dichotomies that have been shown to be untrue, and gives several examples, like the division between plants and animals. The author concludes, on this basis, that dichotomous classifications should be abandoned.
This is a mix of hasty generalization and confusing part and whole. Even if some dichotomous classifications should be abandoned, perhaps there are others that are still valuable. There’s not enough evidence to conclude that the whole system of dichotomous classifications should be eliminated.
The correct answer choice will repeat this flaw. It will provide evidence that some subset is flawed, and conclude on the basis of this insufficient evidence that the broader category should be eliminated.
