The author concludes that the musical character of the performance of Sirat Bani Hilal is the reason that it is still publicly performed. As support, the author says that Sirat Bani Hilal is the only one of the popular Arabic epic poems that is still publicly performed, and that Sirat Bani Hilal is performed by singing, while most other epics were recited.

The author assumes causation from correlation. The premises outline a correlation (most epics were recited, but the surviving epic is typically sung), and assumes that this correlation is the reason that Sirat Bani Hilal is still performed. However, the argument does not give any reason to believe that this is a causal relationship.

This is descriptively inaccurate. The evidence in the argument is not impossible to corroborate.

This is descriptively inaccurate; there is no reason to believe that the source of evidence was biased.

The argument only provides evidence of a correlation (Sirat Bani Hilal is the only Arabic epic poem still performed, and it was sung while most others were only recited), but the author’s conclusion is that this relationship is causal.

This is descriptively inaccurate. The argument does not reference popular opinion, nor does it confuse popular opinion with fact.

This is descriptively inaccurate. The argument does not confuse sufficient and necessary conditions.
