When a person must make a choice between two options
Assuming that the passage is, "Mark was late to work today because he overslept," then the answer would be that it is not an argument. An argument would need not only a claim, but counter-claim. In this case, the passage is merely a statement, or a fact. When it says that Mark is late because he overslept, it is a fact. There is no doubt that he was late and no doubt why so no, this is not an argument.

Answer/Explanation:
Honestly for me I would tell the truth. Some people might think it's a little strange for me to say this so I'll explain.
While telling the lie will save your life, do you really want to carry that burden around with you? I mean, depeing on the lie, it can give an uneasy mind. I would rather tell the truth and d!e than hvaing all that stress.
Hope this helps :)
The author who would become famous as Mark Twain started out in life as Samuel Clemens. Born and raised along the Mississippi River, Clemens would start out in life as a steamboat pilot.
This book, which was written after he was a famous writer, tells the story of his life on the river. In the first part, he is a cub pilot under his mentor, Horace Bixby, who teaches him how to navigate the treacherous river. The very very wordy Twain mixes it up in this part of the book, describing both the river, steamboats, steamboating, etc., and what happens to him as a pilot. This is an interesting part of the book because it includes a fair amount of commentary about life in America after the Civil War, reflecting on the differences between the North and the South.
