Exercise 6

1. Make an Analysis map of this argument that reveals the hidden assumption, then add the objection it the proper place in your map:

Argument: Soccer is the best sport since more people around the world play soccer than any other game.

Objection: Historical and cultural factors are more influential than a sport's quality in determining how many people play that sport.

Copy and paste sections of the above text onto the scratchpad of the editor to proceed.

Hints

• First map the argument, exactly as you did in exercises 3 - 5
• Drag the objection onto the workspace and add it to the proper place in your map.  To work out where it goes, ask yourself: which of the two premises in the reason does this objection undermine?

2. Check your work against the model.
