Because 7 8 9 haha

Exercise #1
Argument: yes
My neighbor should be forced to get rid of all the cars in his yard. 1 People do not like living next door to such a mess. 2 He never drives any of them. 3 they all look old and beat up and leak oil all over the place. 4 It is bad for the neighborhood, and it will decrease property value.
Conclusion: The neighbor needs to move his cars away from his property. 
1,2,&3 lead up to 4. 
I think this is a good argument because the premises look plausible. It may not be a very strong argument due to the claims being vague. If the claims were more legal then the argument would be stronger. 




The exercise was helpful because I had to pull apart the argument and understand each part. It also helped me understand each part of the argument and what causes what part of an argument. Having practice helps understand more of the specifics of concepts.
