Question 11: A reservation is the reasoned beginning of an argument

Answer Choices:

(a) true. Sorry. The reasoned beginning of the argument is the data.
(b) false. Correct! The reservation establishes logical exceptions to the truthfulness of the argument. Since the qualifier usually establishes that the argument is not 100% true, the reservation(s) explain why.
