Question

To put an argument into standard form, one needs to identify __________.

Answer 1

ANSWER:    

To put an argument into standard form, one should identify "the premises and the conclusions".

EXPLANATION:  

Premises are the statements that provide the reason and evidence behind the conclusion involved in an argument. Conclusions are significant in standardizing an argument as it reveals if the arguer takes necessary steps to convince the listener.

The indicator word further helps in the identification of premises and conclusions in a statement. So identification of premises and conclusions in an argument is to make it standardized.
