An argument whose conclusion rests on a similarity between two things or situations is:

A. An inductive argument.
B. A valid argument.
C. A sound argument.
D. A strong argument.



Answer :

Final answer:

An inductive argument relies on similarities between two things to draw a conclusion. Analogical arguments depend on the strength of the comparison and the number of similarities to be considered strong.


Explanation:

An argument whose conclusion rests on a similarity between two things or situations is termed as an inductive argument. In an analogical argument, similarities between two things are noted, and a conclusion is drawn based on this comparison.

For instance, when inferring the reliability of a new Subaru based on past experiences with other Subarus, the reasoning relies on analogy. The strength of such inductive arguments depends on the relevance and number of similarities between the compared items.

Analogical arguments need a solid reference class and significant similarities to be considered strong inductive arguments.
