Question
)For each of the passages below, determine if the passage expresses an argument. If a passage expresses an argument then you should put parentheses around the premises and underline the conclusion. You should indicate whether the argument is deductive or inductive. If a passage does not express an argument then state “no argument.”
1.1) Few of us have heard of Harriet Wilson, the first African-American woman novelist, or Mourning Dove, the first Native American woman to write both a novel and an autobiography. This is explained by the fact that few of their contemporaries were willing to buy their books and the books quickly went out of print.
1.2) A highly regarded Florida physician was ejected from his vehicle and died after his 2016 Ford Explorer had its Firestone tire peeled off. A former Farmersville, CA police chief was killed along with his 13-year-old granddaughter when a Firestone tire blew out on his 2015 Ford Explorer. 60 other serious accidents have been reported in recent years within the U.S. that involve Firestone ATX, ATXII and the Wilderness AT tires. In addition, Ford has replaced Firestone tires for free on vehicles sold in Venezuela, Ecuador, Thailand, Malaysia, Columbia, and Saudi Arabia after tires failed in those countries. So the Firestone ATX, ATXII, and Wilderness AT tires are likely defective.
1.3) If you do not regard your own survival as at least as important as the development of your students then you will be of no good to your students, since if you do not regard your own survival as at least as important as the development of your students then you will sooner or later burnout, become cynical, or get fired. If you do burnout, become cynical, or are fired then you will be of no good to your students.

(A former Farmersville, CA police chief was killed along with his 13-year-old granddaughter when a Firestone tire blew out on his 2015 Ford Explorer.) (60 other serious accidents have been reported in recent years within the U.S. that involve Firestone ATX, ATXII and the Wilderness AT tires.) (In addition, Ford has replaced Firestone tires for free on vehicles sold in Venezuela, Ecuador, Thailand, Malaysia, Columbia, and Saudi Arabia after tires failed in those countries.) So the Firestone ATX, ATXII, and Wilderness AT tires are likely defective. Inductive argument.
1.3) If you do not regard your own survival as at least as important as the development of your students then you will be of no good to your students, since (if you do not regard your own survival as at least as important as the development of your students then you will sooner or later burnout), become cynical, or get fired.
