Question: The Instructions:
Determine whether the following arguments are inductive generalizations or analogical arguments. Identify the sample, target, property in question, or, for analogical arguments, identify the analogues (the sample and target, also called the terms of the comparison), the basis of the comparison, and the feature in question. Also identify any inductive fallacies from Module 4 (if there are fallacies, explain your reasoning).
The Passages:
1. Stratton goes to his first day at classes at PCC and concludes he is going to like his anthropology course. "You can just tell," he says to his girlfriend later, "it's gonna be a great course. The teacher brought up all these interesting subjects, and it was just the first day!"
2. The cocktail Betsy that orders before dinner is watery, so she decides not to eat at the restaurant after all. "I don't think they can make a decent dinner if they can't even make a decent martini," she mutters.
3. Stortz has heard from his friends that the folks in North Carolina are pretty friendly, so he looks forward to going through there on his bike trip.
4. Agnes has read that fair-skinned, blonde, blue-eyed people are more likely to develop problems from over-exposure to the sun, but she discounts these reports. "After all," she reasons, "my Uncle Bob works outside all day on a boat, and I've never heard of him having problems with sun exposure, even though he is blonde, blue-eyed, and fair-skinned."
