Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is no fallacy in this statement because it is reasonable to assume that two watches of the same make and model would have a similar lifespan on a fresh battery. This is not an accident (A), false cause (B), weak analogy (C), or hasty generalization (E) because it is based on a specific and relevant comparison.
