Examine the following passages to determine whether they contain arguments. For those passages that do contain arguments, rewrit

e them in standardized form, numbering premises and conclusion(s). Note any subarguments and indicate the main argument and the main conclusion. Note: Some of the following passages do not contain arguments and therefore do not contain premises or conclusions. If you think that a passage does not contain an argument, explain briefly why it does not.

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.

Paha777 [63]

Answer :

The lines 27-44 from the short story "Night Calls" by Lisa Fugard describe the narrator's feelings about her father's response to her new talent.

Marlene had recently discovered her talent for imitating bird and animal calls.  Due to this special gift, she had gained popularity and respect from everyone at her boarding school.

When Marlene relates this to her father and offers to mimic the sounds of birds and animals for him, he shakes his head slightly and replies "I've got the real thing right outside  my window." Marlene seems to be hurt and slightly upset by his response. However, this is not new for her as she has never received any response or reaction from her father. She is pretty much used to this sort of behavior from him.
