Explanation
The four fallacies fall under erroneous arrival, relevance, ambiguity and presumption respectively.
Trick out of ignorance argues from what is unknown, a defect of faulty or erroneous arrival at a conclusion.
Emotional urge sways by feeling rather than proof, a fallacy of relevance.
The division fallacy shifts a term's sense from whole to parts, a fallacy of ambiguity.
The self-reliant defect assumes what it should prove, a fallacy of presumption.
Pairing each fallacy with its ground gives trick-ignorance to erroneous arrival, emotion to relevance, division to ambiguity, self-reliance to presumption.
