Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

You are correct! Sentence 3 contains flawed reasoning. Although it provides accurate information about scorpions having grasping claws and a venomous stinger, it does not directly address the issue of scorpions becoming a major health problem in many countries. The sentence is simply providing facts about the physical characteristics of scorpions and does not establish a logical connection to the overall issue of scorpions as a health problem.
