Determine whether each of the following arguments is a categorical argument, a truth-functional argument, an inductive generalization, an analogical argument, or a causal argument. 1. You can expect to see most states offering drug treatment programs as an alter- native to jail or prison sentences for first-time drug offenders. This is because eight states now offer drug treatment. These states report that they have fewer repeat offenders and they save money.
2. Anand is the new chess grand master. This is because he beat Topalov, and if he beat Topolav, then Anand is the new chess grand master.
3. I developed a terrible case of laryngitis over the weekend. Since I don’t have any cold symptoms, but did an unusual amount of yelling in the second half of the basketball game, my laryngitis must be the result of yelling so much.
4. All trumpet players are pianists. And some trumpet players are not guitar play- ers. Consequently, some pianists are not guitar players.
5. The number of food recalls has increased in each of the last three years, and nothing seems to suggest that this trend will change. Thus, it is likely that the number of recalls will keep rising and rising.
6. Either Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong is the best jazz musician of all time. Since Louis Armstrong can’t be the best jazz musician of all time, Miles Davis must be.
7. You clearly have a case of the fungal infection called ringworm. This is because you have a red, elevated, ring-like sore on your arm, and if you have ringworm, then you will have sores like those.
8. The number of students in criminology has increased each of the last three years. During this three-year period, more forensic crime series have been shown on television. The crime rate has been different for each year, the num- ber of new jobs available has been different each year, and the recruiting has diminished each year. Thus, it is clear that the larger number of forensic crime programs on television has resulted in an increase in criminology majors.
9. The Louisiana State University football team beat Tulane in 2012, it beat Loyola in 2013, and it beat Northwestern in 2014. Since the University of New Orleans football team is a lot like the football teams at Tulane, Loyola, and Northwestern, LSU will certainly beat UNO in 2015.
10. If we don’t have a tax increase, Stony Brook tuition will go up again. How- ever, the governor refuses to raise taxes because he promised voters that he wouldn’t when he ran for office. For these reasons, we’ll be paying more to go to school next year.
