Eduardo has been reading about the use of drone technology in recent military conflicts and is not quite sure what to think. On the one hand, the use of drones means that military missions can be executed without putting American lives at risk. On the other hand, this very fact means that our political leaders might be quicker to resort to military solutions when other solutions might be available. Eduardo is also concerned about other effects of fully mechanized battle operations. For instance, unlike a human soldier, a drone can neither hear nor sympathize with a mother pleading for the life of her innocent child. Eduardo has decided to research the topic of military drones in more detail and write an essay in which he decides whether the use of drone technology is a positive or negative development in the history of American military action. Which type of argument will Eduardo be making?

a. Argument of fact
b. Argument of definition
c. Argument of evaluation
d. Policy argument

Eduardo will be making a decision on "whether the use of drone technology is a positive or negative development in the history of American military action." This is a judgement call. And he will be determining whether or not drone usage is good or bad. So this is purely an argument of evaluation. The argument is not of fact or definition or a policy argument, but one in which he will establish his opinion on the issue of the use of drone technology in the military.
