As Layton's afternoon chemistry class began, his professor asked everyone to pass their lab reports to
the front of the room. Layton quickly realized he had forgotten all about the assignment. After class,
he approached the professor to see if he could submit the lab report the following Monday. The
professor explained that all students must be held to the same deadline unless there was a valid reason
to make an exception. Layton said, "Please, let me finish it this weekend and hand it in on Monday!
Otherwise, I may not pass the course, and if that happens, I'll lose my financial aid and have to drop
out of college!" Which type of flawed logic did Layton use?
Obegging
O making a hasty generalization
O engaging in slippery-slope thinking
O appealing to false authority
