List and provide an example of three different types of fallacies

What will be an ideal response?

1) A causal fallacy is a statement that makes a faulty causal connection. Example:As long as you wear this lucky rabbit's foot, you will never have an automobile accident. 2) A bandwagon fallacy suggests that because everyone else believes something or is doing something, then it must be valid or correct. Example: Most people agree that we spend too much time worrying about the future of Medicare. 3) Ahasty generalization is a conclusion reached without adequate evidence. Example: It's clear that our schools can't educate children well—my niece went to school for six years and she still can't read at her grade level.
