For an argument to pass as well written statement, there are three tests that need to be conducted. First off, the given information needs to be reasonable. One can’t be interested in whether an argument has strong points if they are uncertain if it is true or false. For the second test, the argument has to be more reasonable than the conclusion. Lastly, the argument needs to be strong and suitable for it to pass as a good argument.
The Saberkittens are cheerleaders. My best friends is a Saberkitten. Therefore, she is a cheerleader. This argument is valid because Saberkittens are cheerleaders for the San Jose Arena Football Team the Sabercats. My best friend has danced ever since she was little and she has cheered for the Sabercats for over a year. (Arena football games are also a lot of fun! I definitely recommend for everyone to try it out once when the season starts back up again!) This argument is also more plausible than the conclusion because the Saberkittens are a professional cheer team. This argument is strong and I believe it passes because it gives factual information. If you don’t believe me you can always look at the Saberkitten roster!
Great Job! You described how an argument is considered good, clearly! You explained in a very understandable way that was also in your own words. You example is also perfect! It makes follows all of the rules and is not only valid, but also a strong argument. You are very true that it is a strong argument because it does give information that is true, because there are no other possible explanations that contradict her being a cheerleader. It is also factual information too. Also, it is really cool that your best friend is a Saberkitten ;) !
