Day 234 — Argument Revision Exercises V
Aug 23, 2017 · 1 min read
For the following inductive arguments, identify what the conclusion is and what the premise indicator/s are.
- Kate is a mouse, so Kate is an animal, as all mice are animals.
- Naturally she must have forgotten that it was her turn to do the cleaning. She didn’t do the dishes or vacuum the floor, and therefore, she didn’t clean the house.
- The noise must have come from inside the building; we know that there’s no way that the monsters could have come through the gate, because there’s electric guards on every railing of the gate.
- There’s no dishes in the dishwasher, so there mustn’t have been any dirty dishes to be cleaned. Also, there’s only clean dishes on the shelves.
- If there’s a noise in the car, it must mean it needs repairing; the car only makes a noise when it’s in need of repair, because it has always made noises when it’s in need of repair.
- There’s only five pens in the desk; in addition, there’s no paper in the photocopier — therefore someone has been using the stationary in the office again.
