The author of Nickel and Dimed, Barbara Ehrenreich, found that she could not survive on $7.00 per hour—not if she wanted to live

indoors. Consider how her experiment would have played out in your community. Limiting yourself to $7.50 per hour (which is approximately the minimum wage today in most states), create a hypothetical monthly budget for your part of the country.

Answer:

$7.50 per hour for 40 hours a week, times 4 weeks gives us a monthly salary of $1,200 per month.

Explanation:

The chosen state is Wisconsin.

In Wisconsin, the average monthly rent for a 1 bedroom apartment is $680.

We can expect to spend $250 in groceries per month, by being very savvy.

The utility bill for the month can be $200, in winter it can be higher because of heating bill.

So with these three items we already have a total monthly expense of $1,130, leaving only $70 left, which could be used for gas, in case we own the car, because there would be no money for both gas and car payments.

We can conclude then that this 1,200 monthly salary is hardly a living wage.

Select the answer that best classifies the argument.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

c. Deductive, analogy

Explanation:

In this scenario, the argument being made would be classified as a deductive analogy. An analogy basically compares two things together in order to explain an idea, most of the time these two things have something in common that allows that idea to be better understood. In this scenario, they are comparing a rabid dog and an unexploded bomb. Since the unexploded bomb is the object that the rabid dog is being compared to it would be considered the conclusion, and since the conclusion is being applied first in the second part of the argument you are therefore using deductive logic.
