When an argument assumes its conclusion from the premise, it is committing the fallacy of...

  1. strawman

  2. loaded question

  3. appeal to authority

  4. begging the question

The correct answer is: begging the question

When an argument assumes its conclusion from the premise, it is committing the fallacy of begging the question. This fallacy occurs when the conclusion of the argument is essentially included in the premises, so the argument is circular and does not provide any real support for the conclusion. In this question: - "Strawman" refers to misrepresenting someone's argument to make it easier to attack, which is not applicable here. - "Loaded question" is a question that contains a controversial or unjustified assumption, also not relevant to the scenario described. - "Appeal to authority" involves using an authority figure's opinion as evidence in an argument, which is different from assuming the conclusion from the premise as seen in begging the question.
