Question Answered step-by-step consider the following passage and structured paraphrase. Crews… consider the following passage and structured paraphrase.Crews searching farm fields near Eagle Lake, Texas, found an airplane part yesterday that came off a Continental Express commuter flight last week before a crash that killed all 14 people aboard. The part, a 9-foot de-icing attachment, is considered a vital clue into what caused Flight 2574 to crash Wednesday, en route from Laredo to Houston. Three crew members and all 11 passengers died.Investigators speculated Saturday the de-icing boot fell off because 43 screws were missing from the leading edge of the plane’s stabilizer, where the de-icer would have been attached. The sudden loss of the de-icer would stall the tail and cause the plane to nose dive, Kolstad said at a press briefing on the crash. It was found about ¾ of a mile northeast of the crash site.(1) MP: Flight 2574 lost its de-icer while in the air.(2) [S/Ec] 43 screws were missing.(3) [S/Re] The de-icer was found ¾ mi. from the crash site.(4) [Ri/Re] The tail stalled and the plane took a nose dive. (5) [S/Re] The plane crashed. (6) [Re] 3 crew members and all 11 passengers died.15. Explain why point (2) has the codes [S/Ec]. 16. Explain why point (3) has the codes [S/Re]. , (a) determine whether the given argument is valid deductive, strong inductive, or weak; and (b) explain your classification.17. S1: If the internet is down, then the search function won’t work.S2: The search function is working. C: The internet is not down.18. S1: Almost all crows have black feathers.S2: Ebenezer is a crow. C: Ebenezer has black feathers. 19. Consider the following passage, which contains an argument.The heiress was murdered last night, and investigators have concluded that the butler was the killer. Their original list of suspects included the butler, the maid, the chauffeur and the cook. The cook and the maid were seen unloading delivery trucks at the time of the murder, so there’s no way it could have been either of them. The chauffeur was apparently at the airport at the time, as indicated by her car’s GPS log. Finally, the autopsy shows that the heiress died in the garage from carbon monoxide inhalation, and the butler is the only one with access to the keys to the cars.(a) Make a numbered list of all the claims that are involved in the above argument,including one important implicit claim.(b) Make a list of which claims support which (using your numbers from part (a).(c) Provide an schema for the argument (using your numbers from part (a)). Consider the following argument schema: S1: All the oncoming cars are using their windshield wipers. C1: We are driving into rain.(a) Formulate the IQ of the argument.(b) Give two serious rivals to the author’s conclusion.(c) Rank all three rivals.(d) How would it affect the ranking if we learned that the sky is clear and there is not a cloud in sight? Consider the following argument schema:S1: Flight 544 entered a storm cell about six hours ago.S2: We have not heard from it since then.S3: It is four hours overdue at its destination. C1: The plane crashed.(a) Formulate the IQ for this argument.(b) Explain why the following question is not a good way to formulate the IQ:”Why did Flight 544 fly into that storm?”(c) Give two serious rivals to the author’s conclusion.(d) Provide a ranking of all three rivals.(e) How would the ranking be affected if we learned that someone saw an explosion in the sky near the flight path for Flight 544?(f) How would the ranking be affected if we learned that the flight path for Flight 544 was entirely over urban and dense suburban areas?(g) Since this is a diagnostic argument, classify each premise as CTD (central trace data), PTD (peripheral trace data), LER (local explanatory resource), or GER (general explanatory resource).
