Which fallacy is committed in the following statement? Thomas Carlyle said of Walt Whitman that he was a big poet because he came from a big country.

A quality of the whole (a big country) is wrongly transferred to a part (the poet), which is the fallacy of division.

Whitman is called a big poet only because his country is big.

The greatness of a nation says nothing about the greatness of an individual within it.

What holds of the collective need not hold of each of its members.

Passing an attribute from the whole down to a part is the fallacy of division.
