Document Summary
Yet neither is it used as a conclusion. Ex: your car didn"t start because you forgot to plug it in. Although because is usually a premise indicator, it does not denote an argument. Ex: your car won"t start tomorrow because it is not plugged in. trying to convince you of while being the conclusion. The part your car won"t start tomorrow is the conclusion the arguer is. Ex: if it rains tomorrow, then the tennis match won"t occur. However, neither one are put forth to be true. Before determining if the premises supports the statement, you must analyze the statement: Deductive arguments are ones where it is intended that the premises , if true, would guarantee the truth of the conclusion. Inductive arguments are ones where it is intended that the premises, if true, would merely make probable that the conclusion to be true falling short of guaranteeing the conclusion to be true.
