Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While a whole and its parts may not be identical, there may be similarities or common qualities between them. Therefore, it is possible for something to be true of both a whole and its parts. Choice A is incorrect because composition is not always a fallacy, though it can be if applied incorrectly. Choice B is incorrect because while a whole and its parts are different, they may still share certain qualities. Choice C is incorrect because the size of the part compared to the whole is not relevant to whether something can be true of both. Choice E is incorrect because the whole does not necessarily have to have every property of the part, only enough to be considered part of the same whole.
