Question

For each of the following passages, state whether it contains an argument. If so, indicate the conclusion and state whether the argument is based on deductive entailment, conduction, analogy, or induction.

1.Either the Canadian dollar will fall against the U.S. dollar, or the manufacturing sector in Canada will continue to suffer decline.
The Canadian dollar is not going to fall against the U.S. dollar, so the Canadian manufacturing sector will continue to decline. -The passage contains an argument -
The conclusion is: Sothe Canadian manufacturing sector will continue to decline-This is based on deductive support – the premises are true, so the conclusion must be true2.In a study of 4,000 tissue swabs, designed to test for cancer, 32 percent gave positive results which later turned out to be false positives.

Therefore, the technique of using theseswabs is probably unreliable about one-third of the time. -The passage contains an argument -
The conclusion is: Therefore,the technique of using these swabs is probably unreliable about one-third of the time.
