Meenal · Accepted Answer

1.EQUIVOCATION
	A particular sugar industry once promoted its product with the tag line "sugar is an essential component of the body...a key material in all sorts of metabolic processes". 
www. thoughtco.com
	This example amounts to equivocation fallacy because the company misguided its customers. The body has glucose(blood sugar) and not ordinary kitchen sugar(sucrose) in order to support vital metabolic functions of human beings.
Kahane H. and Cavender N. (1998)
	2. APPEAL TO FORCE
	"If you do not accept that the sun orbits the earth you will be excommunicated from the church".
www. logicalfallacies.info
	This statement does not provide any evidence to support its statement. Rather it persuades the public to accept its argument using threats. therefore it amounts to appeal to force fallacy. 
	3. ABUSIVE FALLACY
	A says: Stephen King's latest novel was not very impressive.
B says: Did you not fail in your sophomore year? A person like you will not understand literature anyway. 
www. healthyplace.com
	In this example, without even discussing Stephen King's novel B verbally discredited A's sense of knowledge by belittling him thereby committing abusive fallacy. 
Sullivan E.J. (2017)
	4. CIRCUMSATANTIAL FALLACY
	Susan says that gasoline should be taxed higher. But Bob refutes this by saying that since Susan is in the tax department she is biased to promote higher taxes.
www. answersingenesis.com
	Here Bob has committed circumstantial fallacy. Just because Susan is in a position to voice out in favor of higher taxes, does not conclude that her arguments are inappropriate.
Lisle J. (2009). 
	5. APPEAL TO INAPPPROPRIATE AUTHORITY
	Richard Dawkins states that evolution is true.
