Select the best description of an argument. an argument uses evidence and ideas to argue loudly. an argument uses emotions and interest to argue sentimentally. an argument uses facts and reason to argue logically. an argument uses ethics and fiction to argue emotionally.

The correct answer is: An argument uses facts and reason to argue logically.

Although we can use arguments to argue about a sentimental, ethical, fictional or any kind of topic, the structure is the thing that remains the same in all of them. An argument is formed by a set of statements that are composed of premises and a conclusion such that this premises support the conclusion. Therefore reason and logic is used to achieve this structure. If the premises are connected and lead in a logical way to the conclusion we have a solid argument.  

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.
