Difference in Argument Structure : Help!

ronthedonronthedon Core Member

Hi I was wondering if someone can give examples, and ways to tell a difference between the two argument structures, and how to tell them apart in a stimulus.

Premise: B Conclusion: A -> C (missing assumption: B -> C)

versus

Premise: A Conclusion: B->C (missing assumption: A-B).

    Can you clarify the arguments? It looks like you're asking for examples of missing assumptions that link a single variable (premise) to one of two totally different variables in the conclusions of these two arguments:

    P: B
    C: A --> C

    P: A
    C: B --> C
