Which term describes presenting only two choices when more exist?

• A. False Dilemma Fallacy
• B. Perspective
• C. Context
• D. Confirmation Bias

Answer: (A)

This is recognizing a false dilemma, a fallacy that forces the issue to two options even when more exist. It narrows the possibilities to an either/or choice to pressure agreement or decision, while ignoring middle ground, trade-offs, or alternative solutions. For example, claiming you must choose between banning all cars or allowing uncontrolled pollution overlooks other policies like improving public transit, tighter regulations, or technological changes. Perspective refers to a personal viewpoint, context is the surrounding information that helps interpretation, and confirmation bias is the tendency to favor evidence that supports what you already think.
