Question

Six months ago, several of molly's friends joined the trimtime fitness center. each of them participated in trimtime's weight-reduction and fitness regimen. all reported substantial weight reduction, and all are visibly slimmer. molly is convinced. she joins trimtime and enrolls in the same program, hoping and expecting to see the same results. she is especially delighted to learn that trimtime had adjusted its program to make it even more effective in a shorter period of time. is this an analogical argument or a generalization?

Answer 1

The given scenario above is an example of a generalization. Generalization is a process by which one makes a conclusion or a decision based on the result of some specific cases pertaining to the same scenario. This is an example of inductive reasoning by which bits of details are woven together to make a sound conclusion.
