Answer (2)

The slippery slope fallacy asserts that a specific action will lead to a cascade of negative consequences without evidence. An example includes claiming that allowing test retakes will lead to a complete disregard for academic responsibility. Other fallacies, such as straw person, ad hominem, and red herring, should not be confused with slippery slope reasoning. ;
