Which of the following choices is a sound argument?

2 answers:

6 0

The sound argument is this one:

All teachers wear vests. Mr. Gonzales does not wear a vest. Therefore, Mr. Gonzales is not a teacher.

If ALL teachers wear vests, then it means that everyone who is a teacher is wearing a vest: you can recognise a teacher by their vest. So someone who is not wearing a vest, such as Mr. Gonzales, is not a teacher.

E first step you should take in the argument process is

Yuliya22 [10]

Question #1 Answer: To examine a question that has more than one side.
You cannot ask your audience to take action because you haven't taken a firm stance on a subject. You can't take a firm stance on the subject without having evidence to defend your position. And you can't defend your position without first stating both sides of an argument. Thus, the answer is Choice B.

Question #2 Answer: An argumentative essay does not use emotions.
An argumentative essay relies on Logos and Pathos; persuasion and logic, not ethos which is emotions. You would use Ethos and Pathos in a persuasive argument rather than an argumentative essay.

Question #3 Answer: A statement that takes a clear stand on an issue.
A claim states your stance on a subject with conciseness.

Question #4 Answer: An argument uses logic to show your stand on an issue is the best choice.
As I explained before, argumentative essay chiefly relies on Logos (logic). 

Question #5 Answer: Television watching should be limited because it has negative influences on teens.
The first choice uses the phrase, "I think." That is a big No-no. Also, it uses hasty generalization and states that everyone thinks that television is bad for teens. Choice 2 is incorrect. It does not state the authors stance on the subject, it only states something someone else should accomplish. Choice 4 does not state a direct claim. It seems more like clickbait. It states that there are reasons why teen television viewing should be limited, however, it does not state the claim incisively.

Animal Farm can be considered a "fable" or "parable"—a story, often with animal as characters, meant to teach a moral lesson (A

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer and Explanation:

A possible explanation as to why animals are used in the story instead of humans is because animals are less complex than humans. In "Animal Farm", the characters do represent real humans: Lenin, Stalin, the Russian people. However, their traits and actions are simplified, which makes it easier for readers to grasp what the author is trying to convey. For instance, the Soviet leaders are represented by the pigs which, in the story, are the only animals intelligent enough to know anything about leading and managing. Precisely because they are more intelligent and have access to power, the pigs begin to act as dictators. On the other hand, most of the other animals are incapable or learning anything or understanding the situation. That is to show how the Russian people were kept in the dark concerning reality, and how easy it was to mistreat them precisely because they did not possess the knowledge or means to fight back.
