For the following, try to come up with an additional premise that will turn the passage into a deductively valid or an inductively strong argument. Usually this requires adding a general moral principle and, sometimes, an extra nonmoral claim as well. The idea is to guarantee that the "ought" claim follows from the "is" claim.In 1965, there were 47,000 road fatalities in the United States. By 1984, there were only 44,250 fatalities, but that is still far too many. The reductions between 1965 and 1984 were due primarily to federal requirements for motor vehicle safety. So, even stricter federal safety controls should be required.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Unstated nonevaluative premise: Regulations that have reduced road fatalities in the past will, if strengthened, reduce the present number of fatalities. Unstated evaluative claim: Steps to reduce the number of fatalities should be taken.
