Hello, So I have an argument on my topic which is "Would raising the national minimum wage be harmful to the economy?"

some of the questions below I'm not sure what its asking me to say. Could you help? thank you so much.

Presentation of an Argument 

Would raising the national minimum wage be harmful to the economy?

• Describe the scholarly source on one side of the issue.
• Present what you see as the main argument from that source (present the argument in standard form, with the premises listed above the conclusion).

You may address questions such as the following:

• How adequately does the article support the premises of the argument?
• How strongly do the premises of the argument support the truth of the conclusion?
• What (if any) missing premises would be needed to complete the argument (make it valid/strong)? Are these missing premises justified or merely assumptions?

• Present what you see as the main argument from that source in standard form, with the premises listed above the conclusion.
