1. Identify the premises and the conclusion for the following arguments:

1. Since everyone deserves health care, and 30 million Americans still don't have medical insurance, the United States should institute national insurance.

2. I have my doubts about genetically modified plants. To begin with, we don't have enough information about them to know if they are bad for us in the long run. Then there is the problem of cross contamination if they spread to other The whole thing seems pretty questionable.

2. For each passage, indicate whether it contains an argument or not. Explain your reasoning.

1. Stem cell research sounds like a good idea, but it costs a lot of money, and we don't really know if it will cure people. We don't know what the long-term effects will be either. What if it keeps people alive for 200 years-in a world that is already overpopulated? Besides, it's just wrong to take stem cells from embryos.

2. The National Center for Education Statistics estimated that 20.2 million students would attend U.S. colleges and universities in 2015.
