Juanita has taken six courses at Valley Community College, and she has a grade average of B so far. All the courses she has taken have been in sociology and psychology. She's thinking of enrolling in another course next term, and she expects to make at least a B in whatever she takes. Would Juanita's argument be stronger, weaker, or neither if we knew that the new course will be in psychology?

What will be an ideal response?


Stronger. If her new course is in a subject that we know is included in the premise-analogue, that tells us of at least one relevant similarity.
