Question 254 pts

Consider the following Causal Claim:

The lawn mower started up just fine last week, and now it wont start at all. Could the fact that I let it stand out in the rain have something to do with it?

The cause is:

The lawn mower started up just fine last week

Now the lawn mower wont start at all

Letting the lawnmower stand out in the rain

Answer 1

The argument's property in question is accomplishing much as a golfer, a property the sample (Tiger Woods) already has which we believe will get extended to the target ( 2 yr old)

35 percent votes ( specific) to moving towards most of the people I know ( general) indicates that it is an inductive argument.

It is an argument by analogy as it compares ads on AM radio to Paris Hilton ads on Encyclopedia, compares one class to another.

The cause is you never lifting the toilet seat

True, it is a causal claim because event A has a connection to event B which effects its occurence.

The cause is letting the landmower stand in the rain.
