Exercise 2

1. Create an Analysis map that shows the hidden premise in this argument:

Drag this image onto the workspace to proceed.  You must be using the inbuilt browser in Rationale 1.3 or later.

Hints

• Drag the map onto the workspace, select it and change it to 'Analysis' form using the 'Change' section of the ribbon menu

• Create a new claim box and situate this inside the existing green reason area

• To work out what goes in the new claim box ask yourself: what key words appear in the existing reason (the main claim) and the position, but not in both?  The hidden assumption (the co-premise) must connect those two ideas.

2. Check your work against the model.
