question 4

Multiple Choice

Can all three rules for evaluating inductive generalizations be applied to all arguments by analogy?

• A)No, because some arguments by analogy do not involve a generalization.
• B)No, because some arguments by analogy are entirely deductive.
• C)Yes, because every argument by analogy involves an inductive generalization.
• D)The first rule cannot be applied, since the inductive generalization is always based on a single instance.But the other two rules can always be applied.
• E)The first two rules can always be applied, but the third cannot, since analogies always take the plausibility of a generalization for granted.
