User: Providing only two choices when other are available defines which fallacy?

Weegy: False Dilemma: A fallacy that occurs when two conclusions are held to be the only possible options, when in fact there are other options. [ Example: Senator A: “We either have to cut education spending or else we’ll have a huge deficit this fiscal year.” Senator B: “Hmmm…there are other options. You could raise taxes or even cut spending in other programs and agencies.” ]
