Answer to Question 1

The fallacy of composition is the incorrect belief that what is true for a part is necessarily true for the whole. For example, intensive fishing in an area by a boat may increase profits earned by the boat owner. However, if many boats excessively fish in the same area, the stock of fish will become depleted and all will be worse off.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
