Although the concept of free will is essential to that of moral responsibility, Conclusion its role in determining responsibility is not the same in all situations. ██ ████ █████████ ███████ ███████████ ███ ███ ██████ ████ ██████ ████████ ████ ████ ██████ █████ █████ ███████████ ███ ██ ██ ███ ████ ███████ ███ ███ █ █████ ██████ █████ ███████ ███████ ███████████ ███ ███ ██████ ███████ ██ ████ ████ ████ ██ ████ ████ ██████ ██ ███████ ████ ███ █████ ██████ █████ ████ ████ █████████ ██ ██████ █████████ █████ ███ ████ █████ ██████ ██ ████ ██ ████ ███████

Summarize Argument

The author claims that free will does not always have the same role in determining moral responsibility. The argument proceeds with two examples which support this claim by demonstrating situations where free will leads to different assessments of responsibility. First: the free choice to commit crimes leads to responsibility. Second: the free choice to eat a diet that causes a heart attack does not lead to responsibility for the consequences of having a heart attack while driving.

Identify Argument Part

The claim that a choice of diet can affect whether or not one has a heart attack helps to support the conclusion by demonstrating a situation where responsibility and free will have a different relationship from that associated with crime.

11.

The claim that a choice ██ ████ ███ ██████ ███████ ██ ███ ███ ███ █ █████ ██████ █████ █████ ███ ██ ███ █████████ █████ ██ ███ █████████

It is a ██████████ ██████████ ██ ███ █████████

The claim about diet affecting heart attacks is not supported by anything else in the argument, so cannot be a subsidiary conclusion.

It is used ██ ████ ████ ██ ██████ ████ ███████ ███████ ███████████ ███ ███████ ██████ ██ ██████ █ █████ ██████ █████ ████████

As with (C), the author never makes a claim about when we should or shouldn’t hold someone responsible. The argument is just trying to show that we assess responsibility differently in different situations.

It is cited ██ ████████ ████ ███ ███████ ██ █████ ██████████████ ██████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ███ ███████████

As with (B), the author makes no statement about how we should assess responsibility. The point of the argument is just to demonstrate that our assessment can differ based on factors other than free will.

It is used ██ ████████ ███ █████ ████ ██ ██████ ███ ████ █████████ ███████ ███████████ ███ ████████

The author isn’t trying to disprove anything, and the argument never references a claim that we shouldn’t hold criminals morally responsible.

It is used ██ ███████ ██ ███ ██████████ ██ ███ █████████

This accurately describes what the claim about diet and heart attacks does in the argument: it’s a premise. It supports the conclusion as part of one of two conflicting examples.
