Question

a bomp exploded outside the Commercial Bank nearArat Kilo, injuring 25 people in the and causing millions of birr damage to the nearby buildings, police said. A police statement said the 190-pound bomb packed into a basket hidden in the Back of a stolen car. this statement is argument or not?​

Answer 1

Answer: It is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally a statement is merely a sentence of fact. It is either true or false and does not attempt to convince the reader of its validity by giving the listener/ reader reasons why they should believe the statement is valid. This is the case in the above scenario. The statement is merely saying what happened as it happened.

When a statement or group of statement attempt to convince by giving reasons however, this becomes and argument and seeing as this is not the case here, this is not an argument.
