Determine whether each of the following arguments is a deductive argument or an inductive argument. If the argument is a deductive argument, then evaluate the argument for its validity and soundness. If the argument is an inductive argument, then evaluate the argument for its strength and cogency. Use the selection lists beneath each argument to indicate your answers. Argument AThis ancient map of the world clearly indicates the location of Atlantis in relation to other locations in the ancient world. Even though ancient maps are generally less reliable than modern maps, and Atlantis is generally acknowledged to be mythical, if you take your directions from this ancient map then it is probably true that you will discover Atlantis. Argument A is (inductive/deductive), (weak/strong), (cogent, uncogent)Argument BSonia has been playing roulette all evening in a casino, and over the course of the evening she has managed to quadruple her original bankroll. Because of this, it is likely that she will keep winning if she plays roulette every night the following week. Argument B is (inductive/deductive), (weak/strong), (cogent, uncogent)Argument CEgypt is a popular ski destination during its winter season because tourists are permitted to ski down the sides of the Great Pyramids. Because of this, it is likely that many people pack ski equipment when they travel to Egypt in the winter season. Argument A is (inductive/deductive), (weak/strong), (cogent, uncogent)

See answer below:

Explanation:

Argument A:

This ancient map of the world clearly indicates the location of Atlantis in relation to other locations in the ancient world. Even though ancient maps are generally less reliable than modern maps, and Atlantis is generally acknowledged to be mythical, if you take your directions from this ancient map then it is probably true that you will discover Atlantis. Argument A is inductive, weak, uncogent.

Argument B:

Sonia has been playing roulette all evening in a casino, and over the course of the evening she has managed to quadruple her original bankroll. Because of this, it is likely that she will keep winning if she plays roulette every night the following week. Argument B is inductive, strong, uncogent

Argument C:

Egypt is a popular ski destination during its winter season because tourists are permitted to ski down the sides of the Great Pyramids. Because of this, it is likely that many people pack ski equipment when they travel to Egypt in the winter season. Argument A is deductive, strong, cogent  

the two sets of lines are :

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
