P (just premises) c (sub-conclusion) mc. Sub-arguments support the premises that support the argument"s main conclusion. Sub-conclusion has a dual role a premise for the main conclusion, and a conclusion for a premise(s) (a conclusion and a reason) Since we know it is a simple argument, we know we are looking only for reasons and a main conclusion. Reason (p): caring for sick relatives alleviate hospital burdens. Argument (mc): its good thing to care for sick relatives. We should be grateful when people choose to care for ailing relatives. This alleviates the burden on hospitals, allowing for less expenses on resources (e. g. space, personelle, etc. ). It can also provide for less waiting times and over- crowding.
