⚖️ LSAT Exam Prep

"Happy people live longer. Therefore, making yourself smile will extend your life." The flaw in this is:

A Confusing genuine happiness with the outward expression of smiling
B Appeal to authority
C Slippery slope
D Circular reasoning

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

Genuine happiness (a deep emotional state) is different from forcing a smile. The correlation was with happiness, not the physical act of smiling.
