Read the passage. Pedro asked the teacher what time class would be dismissed on the final day of school. Before his teacher had a chance to respond, Alexandra said, "Pedro, not everyone is eager for summer vacation to begin!” The other students rolled their eyes and began sighing at Alexandra’s observation. Which type of logical fallacy does Alexandra make in the underlined portion of the passage? straw man bandwagon slippery slope hasty generalization

The practice of relying on a single piece of evidence to draw conclusions about a larger population is an example of the fallacy of hasty generalization, which is also known as the over-generalization fallacy.
In such a scenario, the conclusion that was arrived at does not have the logical coherence necessary, and it is more likely to be an assumption based on individual pieces of evidence.
Example- A person is guilty of making a hasty generalization if, for instance, they witness one teenager skipping school and then go on to say that all teenagers skip school.

Why is Alexandra’s statement a hasty generalisation?

In the passage, Alexandra mentions the fact that not everyone is looking forward to the start of summer break. The class responds to this information by sighing, which indicates that they believe Alexandra's statement does not apply to them.
Even though Alexandra might not be thrilled about the upcoming summer break, this does not mean that everyone else feels the same way.
Therefore, by making the hasty generalization that everyone in the class feels the same way about summer vacations as she does, she commits the logical fallacy of making an overgeneralization/ hasty generalization.
