Can you provide an example of affirming the consequent in a logical argument?
Affirming the consequent is a logical fallacy where someone assumes that if a statement is true, then its consequence must also be true. For example: "If it is raining, then the ground is wet. The ground is wet, so it must be raining." This is flawed because there could be other reasons for the ground to be wet besides rain.

Can you provide an example of a logical fallacy that involves contradictory premises?
An example of a logical fallacy that involves contradictory premises is the "fallacy of the excluded middle." This fallacy occurs when someone presents only two options as if they are the only possibilities, when in fact there are other options available. For example, saying "Either you're with us or you're against us" is a fallacy of the excluded middle because it ignores the possibility of being neutral or having a different perspective.

What is a seemingly plausible argument that is invalid and misleading?
One example of a seemingly plausible argument that is invalid and misleading is the fallacy of affirming the consequent. This fallacy occurs when someone assumes that if a certain condition is met (the consequent), then the original statement must be true. However, this does not logically follow, as there could be other factors at play.

What is A statement that contains an error in logic?
The word you are probably looking for is a fallacy. However, a fallacy is generally considered to be an argument which has a superficial attractiveness, but which on closer examination proves to have no logical basis. A good example is the argument "We all know that if a person is an immigrant they will work for cheap. He works for cheap so he has to be an immigrant." This particular fallacy is called affirming the consequent. Or the argument, "My Holy Book is the true word of God because the true word of God, contained in my Holy Book, says so. And you know you can believe it because it is the word of God." This fallacy is called a circular argument, begging the question (a phrase which is often used by people who have no idea what it means), or in Latin, petitio principii. However, an "argument" which is just nonsense, like, "My father was a true-blue American and I hate Chinese food so the US should declare war on North Korea", basically lacks even superficial attractiveness and would only appeal to those who cannot reason from A to A, and is not usually called a fallacy.
