Question

"Because there was successful raid on the terrorist command center last week, we may now infer that we have nothing more to fear from those gunmen, all of whom were taken prisoner. It follows that the soldiers who carried out the raid ought to be decorated in a ceremony at the White House" is which type of argument?

Answer 1

Answer:

Extended, with at most two conclusions.

Explanation:

In short, an extended argument represents an argument that consists of two or more different sub-arguments. This indicates that you will find conclusions that represent premises for the most important conclusion of the argument. In this case, there are two arguments, one main argument, and the other secondary or sub-argument.
