Each of the following arguments is an inductive argument. Evaluate the arguments for strength and cogency, then use the selection lists beneath each argument to indicate your answers. Argument A:
Diet Coke and Diet Sprite are both sugarless soft drinks. Since Diet Coke is sweetened with an artificial sweetener, and since Diet Sprite is made by the Coca-Cola company, it follows that Diet Sprite is probably sweetened with an artificial sweetener also.
Argument B:
McDonald's has been in business for decades. But, because many towns regularly see businesses open and close, it follows that McDonald's will probably close its doors any day now.
