Determine Whether the Following Passage Is (Or Contains) an Argument

question 61

Short Answer

Determine whether the following passage is (or contains) an argument.
"Today, there is strong evidence-not only in theory but in practice-that families who try to protect dying children from knowing they're dying rarely serve the child's best interests. This conspiracy of silence, however well-meaning, often puts nurses, relatives, and others who spend the most time with the patient, especially in their lonely moments, on the spot."
