Argument Summary
S’s argument sets out a general principle (if you’re old enough to fight, you’re old enough to vote), then applies that principle to 17 year olds (they’re old enough to fight, so they’re old enough to vote).
T challenges that general principle by first noting that it only works when the two activities are meaningfully similar, then arguing they’re actually quite different (fighting requires brawn; voting requires brains).
You should head into the answer choices with something like “attacks a premise” or “challenges the analogy” in mind.
