Explanation / Answer

q21.21 Over estimating the strength of arguement based on a small sample

(It is essentially making a hasty conclusion without considering all the variables. Many a times, a survey from a very small population might be used to measure the conclusion.)

q22.22 Showing that analogues are not similiar as stated or implied

(In analogy, the arguement is based on similiarity. to attack or counter an analogy, one will have to show that two things compared in the analogy are not similiar.)

q23.23 Arguements make claims, explanations make premises.

(An arguement presents evidence in support of a claim, but an explanation helps us understand how or why the fact occurs)
