Question

On Tuesday fifty-two people ate ham sandwiches at Johnny's Deli, and half of those came down with hepatitis. The board of health discovered that the people who became ill had their ham sandwiches made by Johnny's brother, who had hepatitis at the time. This was the only relevant common element among those who got sick. It seems that Johnny's brother is the source of the hepatitis.1. Analogical Argument2. Sampling Argument3. Argument from Authority4. Causal Argument

Answer 1

Causal Argument

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a causal relationship between who made and served the ham sandwiches, and the people who contracted hepatitis.

A causal relation is defined as a situation where the occurrence of one event, causes the occurrence of another event. In this case, Johnny's brother making ham sandwiches leads to the occurrence of hepatitis appearing in half of the people who ordered ham sandwiches from the deli.
