Explanation / Answer

propositions, analogies and inferences. an argument is any verbal or written for which provides a set of reasons for a belief, action or theory. a proposition is an argument as it provides the reasoning statement of an expressed opinion. an analogy is an argument as it provides an clarrification to the comparison of two things. an inference is an argument as it provides the reasoning behind a conclusion.
