Correct Answer - Option 1 : Accidental definition

The correct answer is Accidental definition

  • Accidental definition
    • ​It is an informal logical fallacy.
    • It is also called the fallacy of the general rule.
    • In this fallacy, one uses a general rule to a situation in which the rule is inapplicable.
    • Example: Human beings have the ability to sing. Therefore, all people are capable of singing.

  • Too narrow definition
    • It is a logical fallacy.
    • It does not include all the things which should be included. 
  • Figurative definition
    • It is a logical fallacy.
    • It uses more metaphorical or figurative languages.
  • Synonymous definition
    • It means defining a word or symbol by giving a similar meaning to another word or symbol.
    • It gives the word an identical meaning.
    • Limitations
      • Sometimes there are no exact synonyms of the words.
      • Can't be used in the theoretical definition.
    • In the above example, the word 'Plant' has a 'Vegetable' synonym.
      • Another synonym of Plant is an herb, weed, flora, etc.
