Summarize Argument

Physiology is only part of pain perception. Why? The meaning one attaches to a wound can also affect pain perception. How do we know? A WWII study showed that civilians and soldiers attached different meanings to their pain, and civilians requested more pain medication.

Identify Argument Part

This is the conclusion of the argument. The study supports that there are psychological components to pain perception, which in turn supports that pain perception is only partly dependent on physiology.

The claim that pain perception ███████ ████ ██████ ██ ██████████ ███████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ███ ██ ███ █████████ █████

a

It is an ██████████ ██ █████ ███ ████████ ████████

The claim is the argument - everything else supports it. It cannot be an assumption if it is the conclusion.

18%
b

It undermines the ██████████ ████ ███████████

It does not undermine the conclusion - it is the conclusion. The rest of the stimulus is used to support the claim.

0%
c

It summarizes a ████████ ████ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ██ ██████████

The argument is not discrediting this claim - it is supporting it. The rest of the stimulus acts as evidence.

2%
d

It is information ████ ███ ████████ █████ ███ ████████

The argument does not take this claim for granted - it supports it. There is evidence for why we should believe the claim.

4%
e

It is the ████ ██████████ ██ ███ █████████

This is accurate - it is the main argument in the stimulus. The rest of the argument acts as evidence to support it.
