• The false dilemma or false correlative. Here something which is not a correlative is treated as a correlative, excluding some other valid possibility.

• The fallacy of denying the correlative, where an attempt is made to introduce some other invalid option into what is a true correlative.

• The fallacy of suppressed correlative, where the definitions of a correlative are changed so that one of the options includes the other, making one option impossible.

• The false choice, in which options are presented as being exclusive, when that is not the case.
