Identify the pattern of argument in the following: 'Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it every day and soon it cannot be broken.'
ACausal argument
BArgument from analogy ✓ Correct
CArgument from authority
DArgument from definition
Correct answer: (B) Argument from analogy — This is an argument from analogy, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★This is an argument from analogy, so that is the answer.
★An argument from analogy compares two things that share similar features.
★Here habits are compared to a cable.
★Just as a cable grows unbreakable with each strand, habits grow stronger with each repetition.
★The reasoning rests on this similarity.
★So it is an argument from analogy, not causal, authority or definition.
