Can “mislead” be accompanied by “that-clause”?
"The fallacy of false choice misleads that the choices which have been made explicit exhaust the sensible alternatives."
Q1. The structure of the above sentence is "Subject + misleads that-clause". I know S misleads 'you' or 'us'. But can S mislead 'that-clause', too? If possible, what does that above sentence mean?
Q2. What's the exact meaning of "exhaust" here? Does it have any other meaning than "to make tired" or "to run out of something"?
Q3. Would you rephrase that sentence for me to understand easily?
Q4. Just to double check, suppose I put it this way, "He is misleading that she is an honest girl." What does this sentence mean?
Is he misleading people by saying that she is not honest, even though she is honest? Or Is he misleading people by saying that she is honest, even though she is not honest? Or something else?
