It did not allow me to go past question #1.

So, from what I've gathered, when there is context in an argument, the conclusion/premise doesn't have to be and may not present itself in a complete sentence, it may be part of a sentence. Is that true?

After identifying the conclusion, asking myself why really helps to solidify it!

My take on a complex argument.

Dakota likes to sleep during the day.

Felines tend to sleep during the day because they are crepuscular creatures.

Dakota is a crepuscular creature because she runs around at night.

Therefore Dakota is a feline.

Noted! Wording is so important.

At first I thought, It may be a bit improbable but couldn't we assume that Walt stole that pass, or that Walt found that pass lying on the ground outside of the park? If the question here is how he obtained the pass I believe there are other assumptions to be made if we really tried. But then I realized since Walt is a member, the question is more so pertaining to how the pass that he owns has said access. Those are the only two options to achieve that level of access. Since that is the case then it is seemingly an airtight argument as he said.

Tiger: All people with brown skin don't have curly hair, my grandmother has brown skin and her hair is straight.

Disney: Paul George was reportedly traded to a team in California. Reports say he was not traded to either to the LA teams. Sacramento has decided not to trade this year. Therefore, he was traded to the golden state warriors.

Trash bin: Ms. Daniel works in a hair salon. She has a booth with her name on it. She was seen washing a woman's hair and later cutting and styling it. The Illinois state law requires one to have a cosmetology license in order to do hair professionally. Therefore, Ms. Daniel went to cosmetology school.

I tripped up on question 3 by making an inference rather than looking at it black and white. I took the implications of the premise (second sentence) to suggest that the first sentence was a conclusion but in reality the two claims were not explicitly linked, for instance with a word like "therefore". Because of that it is not an argument, but just two factual observations.

I live by say what you mean and mean what you say. I'm excited for this course!
