Identify the type of fallacy in each of the following statements:

one else voiced concern, so he must be the only one who had that problem.
- Your roommate has invited his classmate, Annie, over to work on a project.
Before Annie arrives, your roommate explains that she will probably be late
because she never helps with the work and always leaves him to take care of
everything.
