Writing Assignment
Rewrite
the following arguments listing the premise(s) first and the conclusion last. Each line should
be a single statement written as a complete
sentence. Feel free to modify the sentences as you deem necessary, without
changing their basic meaning. (after all you want to be restating this argument, not writing a new one!)
Label the premise(s) P¹, P², P³, etc. and the conclusion C. Leave out any
indicator words and any fluff (i.e., sentences which are neither the conclusion
nor a premise). 10 points each.
EXAMPLE:
Cats
with long hair shed all over the house so you should not get a long-haired cat.
I
have heard that they also have lots of fleas.
P¹
|
Long-haired cats shed all over the house.
|
P²
|
Long-haired cats have a lot of
fleas.
|
C
|
You should not get a long haired cat.
