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.'

The reasoning is an argument from analogy.

A habit is likened to a cable woven strand by strand.

As added strands make a cable unbreakable, repeated acts make a habit hard to break.

The conclusion about habits is drawn from this resemblance to cables.

Transferring a feature from the familiar cable to the habit is analogical reasoning.

Comparing two unlike things to carry over a property marks the argument from analogy.
