Question

If the claim is "Susie has the flu," list 2 examples for grounds and 2 examples for warrants.

Answer 1

Answer:
Grounds:
1. Susie has been experiencing symptoms such as high fever, cough, and body aches.
2. Susie tested positive for the influenza virus during a medical examination.

Warrants:
1. The symptoms Susie is experiencing are consistent with those of the flu, as identified by medical professionals.
2. The positive test result for the influenza virus provides evidence that Susie has contracted the flu.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are two examples of grounds for the claim "Susie has the flu":

1. Grounds example 1: Susie is experiencing symptoms commonly associated with the flu, such as high fever, body aches, and fatigue. These symptoms align with the medical definition of the flu.

2. Grounds example 2: Susie recently came into contact with someone who had a confirmed case of the flu. Since the flu is highly contagious, it is reasonable to assume that Susie could have contracted it.

Now, let's move on to two examples of warrants:

1. Warrant example 1: If someone exhibits symptoms that align with the medical definition of the flu, it is likely that they have contracted the flu virus. Therefore, if Susie is experiencing flu-like symptoms, it is reasonable to assume that she has the flu.

2. Warrant example 2: Since the flu is highly contagious and Susie recently came into contact with an infected individual, there is a higher probability that she has contracted the flu compared to someone who hasn't had such exposure. This warrant connects the grounds (recent contact with an infected person) to the claim (Susie has the flu).
