Which of the following is not a type of fallacy? Correct Answer Understatement

Fallacy: It is nothing but a false belief which is derived from certain illogical arguments that seem logical in a certain way. For example, tigers and lions are ruthless killers so the cat must be a ruthless killer. The following are four types of fallacies:

• Relevance: When the relevance of a statement is ignored and the argument given is logically irrelevant to the conclusion. For example, a politician, at the time of the election, seeks votes in the name of religion.
• Induction: It occurs when there is not a strong relationship between the premises and conclusions. For example, Akash eats fast food quite often, also, he is slim, so it implies fast food keeps one slim.
• Presumption: This is the fallacy in which the argument is based on assumption rather than a proven fact. For example, Red wine is good for health so it is good for all classes of people (even if someone has a damaged liver).
• Ambiguity: This fallacy takes place when there are multiple meanings of the words or phrases in premises which make the conclusion vague. For example, ‘Noisy children are a real headache, two aspirins will make a headache go away, hence, noisy children will go way.

Note that understatement is not a type of fallacy, instead, it is a figure of speech which means a statement that can not express true feelings or makes less important than it is.

Hence, we conclude that understatement is not a fallacy.
