Given below are two statements:

Statement I: The statement "A person without a purpose is like a car with no engine. And that's a useless piece of machinery" is an example of an analogical argument. Statement II: The statement "A person with no purpose is like a car with no engine. And that's a useless piece of machinery" is an example of non-argumentative use of analogy.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is D

· Statement I is false because the analogy "A person without a purpose is like a car with no engine" is a non-argumentative use of analogy. It is metaphorical and descriptive, illustrating a concept without making a formal argument.
· Statement II is true because the analogy is being used in a non-argumentative way, serving as a metaphor to describe rather than prove or argue a point.
Information Booster: 1. Analogical Argument: Compares two entities and uses the comparison to draw a conclusion or support a point.
2. Non-Argumentative Analogy: Simply draws a metaphorical comparison without forming an argument or attempting to prove something.
3. Analogies are useful in explaining concepts, but they can either be argumentative (used to justify a conclusion) or non-argumentative (used descriptively).
