Which fallacy involves repeating a claim to provide evidence?

The correct answer is circular reasoning, which occurs when the conclusion of an argument is assumed in one of the premises. In this fallacy, the claim is essentially repeated without providing external evidence or support, leading back to the initial assertion instead of advancing the argument. This can make an argument seem plausible at first glance, but it provides no new information or justification beyond what was initially stated.

In contrast, other fallacies like the false dichotomy present an either-or scenario that oversimplifies complex issues, while hasty generalization makes broad conclusions based on insufficient evidence. A red herring introduces an irrelevant topic to divert attention from the main issue but does not involve reiterating the original claim as a form of evidence.
