Document Summary
Whenever we have reasons for our beliefs, we can organize them into an argument. For the food was cold, and the service was slow and the ta(cid:271)les (cid:449)e(cid:396)e di(cid:396)t(cid:455). (cid:863: 1. The restaurant was terrible: the food was cold, the service was slow, the tables were dirty. If no: it is probably not an argument: (cid:862)(cid:449)e ought to (cid:271)uild a (cid:271)(cid:396)idge a(cid:272)(cid:396)oss the (cid:396)i(cid:448)e(cid:396), (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause doi(cid:374)g that is the (cid:271)est (cid:449)a(cid:455) to solve the traffic p(cid:396)o(cid:271)le(cid:373)s(cid:863) An argument: (cid:862)(cid:449)e ought to (cid:271)uild a (cid:271)(cid:396)ide a(cid:272)(cid:396)oss the (cid:396)i(cid:448)e(cid:396). A(cid:374)d (cid:449)e should li(cid:373)it the (cid:272)a(cid:396)s that go o(cid:374) it. A(cid:374)d let(cid:859)s fi(cid:454) the pa(cid:396)k (cid:449)hile (cid:449)e a(cid:396)e at it.

The (cid:858)therefore(cid:859) test: if there are no indicators, you could try inserting one between the assertions to see which makes most sense: (cid:862)we should (cid:374)ot (cid:271)uild a (cid:271)(cid:396)idge. Building a bridge would be too expensive.
