Clues
- a conclusion that is very specific and tightly designed (6, 10)
- a guide to action which can be applied to a range of circumstances, beyond the immediate context of the argument. Principles could be used as reasons, conclusions or assumptions. (7, 9)
- An additional argument that is against, or counter to, what the conclusion seeks to establish. The writer normally presents the counter-argument in order to dismiss it. (must have a reason and a conclusion.) (on the other hand, however, but, despite (7, 8)
- finds assumptions 1- identify a possible assumption 2- reverse the statement (make it negative) 3- insert it into the argument 4- if the conclusion no longer works an assumption has been identified. (3, 8, 4)
- insert therefore to check if something is a conclusion (9, 4)
- is the language emotive or reasoned?, does the evidence demonstrate bias or neutrality?, are alternative viewpoints considered? (2, 2, 7, 8)
- personal interest, usually financial, in a state of affairs/organisation leading to the expectation of personal gain from a favourable outcome. - VE provides a motive to say one thing rather than another - incentive to present one interpretation. (6, 8)
- the writer presents a reason that would support an opponent's argument, rather than a whole counter-argument (on the other hand, however, but, despite this, some may argue, although) (7, 9)
- this is a specific form of inconsistency. Ideas or facts which are contradictory say exactly the opposite thing.s (13)
- when evidence or an argument contain two claims which cannot both be true at the same time. (13)
