Explanation:

A false dilemma fallacy is a kind of 'informal' fallacy. This is where something is incorectly claimed to be an "either/or" situation, when however, there is at least one additional option. The false dilemma fallacy can also be where there is a accidental exclusion of another option.

For example, if I say, "You can either brush your teeth with the blue toothbrush, or not brush your teeth at all." Yet, I forgot that we can grab another color toothbrush before you have to brush your teeth at the store.

Explanation:

In the given scenario, the tone of the story seems to be the united nature of the three girls. Being friends for over three years, and all good singers, they will be loyal to one another.

Thus, the most satisfying conclusion will be to see them put together as a group and win the contest.
