Identify the following passage as containing an argument, two arguments, or no argument; if it contains an argument, identify the conclusion(s); and, if it contains two arguments, indicate which argument is the principal argument."Hey, what is that stuff you're cooking anyway? It smells like fish.""Fish! What do you mean 'fish?' That's a pot roast I'm cooking.""Oh . . . say, you don't mind if I open a window, do you? No, it's not the fish-uh, roast; it just seems sorta warm in here."
What will be an ideal response?
No argument; in the last passage, the speaker is explaining-actually, pretending to explain-why he or she wants to open a window, not giving an argument that a window should be opened.
