e them in standardized form, numbering premises and conclusion(s). Note any subarguments and indicate the main argument and the main conclusion.

My name is Ann [436]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1) This passage does not contain an argument. It begins with a comment that everyone knows the U.S. is having an election (in 2008); the author proceeds to state three things that he thinks Europe should focus on.  He does not offer reasons for his statement that these three things are jobs, Muslims, and neighbors.

2) This passage contains both an argument and a sub-argument. 1.The butler was passionately in love with the victim. Thus, 2. It was not the butler who committed the murder. 3. Either the butler committed the murder or the judge committed the murder. Therefore, 4. The judge committed the murder.  The sub-argument goes from (1) to (2), and the main argument goes from (2) and (3) to (4). Note again:  identifying the structure does not imply saying that this is a good argument.

3) This passage contains an argument. Standardization: (1) No one who uses a relatively unreliable procedure in order to decide whether to punish can know whether that other person deserves punishment.  (2) No one who cannot know whether another person deserves punishment has a right to punish that person.  Therefore,  (3) No one who uses a relatively unreliable procedure in order to decide whether to punish another person has a right to punish that person.

At the beginning of the mission, since our priority was to identify the origin of the alien’s signal. What is the most accurate
ikadub [295]

The most accurate way to describe the excerpt is to choose the option - it is a dependent clause. This means that something needs to be added - you need to finish the sentence so that it becomes an independent clause, and not a subordinate one.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: It’s common to discuss your work history and experience in an interview, but some employers want more detail than others. In particular, some may ask you to dig into the last project you led.

My family left the fair at 8:00, so we missed the fireworks display.
dolphi86 [110]

Hey there!

Answer:

Compound

Explanation:

It contains a main clause (My family left the fair at 8:00) a conjunction(so) and another main clause (we missed the fireworks display).So it's a compound sentence.

-It can't be a <em>simple</em><em> </em><em>sentence</em><em> </em>because it has a subordinate clause.

-It can't be a <em>compound Complex </em><em>sentence</em><em> </em>because it only has 1 main clause and not 2.

-It can't be a complex sentence since it doesn't have a subordinate clause.

Definitions:

A <em>simple sentence</em> has 1 main clause.e.g. The boys fought.

A <em>compound sentence</em> has two main clause E.g. Peter went to the mall and he returned late.

A <em>compound conplex</em> has 2 or more main clauses and 1 or more subordinate clause.E.g. Jude travelled and she brought her cousin to live with her.

A <em>complex sentence</em> has a main clause and a subordinate clause.E.g. The boy bumped into the table and he fell onto the floor.

Note:

A <em>main clause</em> is a group of words that can stand on its own whilst a subordinate clause can't as it doesn't represent a complete idea.

Hope this helps!
