9
A(n) or nonfactual issue is one which cannot be settled by any established or obvious method.

First of all, is each number referring to a specific claim? If so, where is that claim? When it comes to a definition, don't forget a good dictionary! You will not only get a definition but often synonyms (that you WILL recognize), antonyms and even example sentences in a good dictionary.

________________________________________
Your Results:
1 CORRECT A(n) is a set of claims intended to support or prove a conclusion.
The Correct Answer: argument
Your Answer: argument
An argument is a set of claims. One claim is the conclusion and all the others are the premises given as reasons in support of it.
2 CORRECT A(n) is a statement that is either true or false.
The Correct Answer: claim
Your Answer: claim
A claim expresses a belief, opinion, assertion, etc. which has a truth value (even if that value is unknown).
3 CORRECT A(n) is a claim in an argument, which the rest of the argument is intended to support.
The Correct Answer: conclusion
Your Answer: conclusion
A conclusion is "the point." It's what all the premises aim at proving or supporting.
4 CORRECT A(n) is a word or phrase - "thus," "therefore" - that shows that a conclusion is up ahead.
The Correct Answer: conclusion indicator
Your Answer: conclusion indicator
Although usually absent in normal conversation, a conclusion indicator serves as a sign that points to what the argument is trying to convince us of.
5 CORRECT A(n) is a true, non-subjective, factual claim.
The Correct Answer: fact
Your Answer: fact
A fact is the way the world really works, and a non-subjective claim is true when the correspondence between the fact and the claim is accurate.
6 CORRECT A(n) claim is a claim about a matter of fact.
The Correct Answer: non-subjective
Your Answer: non-subjective
A factual claim is non-subjective because it can be checked by anyone using commonly accepted standards and found to be true or false.
7 CORRECT A(n) or factual issue is an one whose truth can be settled by an agreed-on method for collecting evidence, the truth about which is a fact, and disagreement about which means that at least one of the people is mistaken.
The Correct Answer: non-subjective
Your Answer: non-subjective
A factual issue will meet both of the following criteria: (1) there are established methods for settling the matter, and (2) if two people disagree about the issue, at least one of them must be wrong.
8 CORRECT A(n) is a point being debated; a question that is raised when assessing the truth or falsity of a statement.
The Correct Answer: issue
Your Answer: issue
An issue arises when the truth of a claim is questioned. The pro and con sides are argued and weighed with the aim of discovering which side is better supported.
9 CORRECT A(n) or nonfactual issue is one which cannot be settled by any established or obvious method.
The Correct Answer: subjective
Your Answer: subjective
Issues having a subjective character are private, such as how red looks to you, how your headache feels to you, how cuddly your cat seems to you (notice these qualitative states of mind are always how something appears to you, and only you). There is no known method for sharing your experience of pain, etc. with anyone else. Therefore, there is no way to settle the "fact of the matter" objectively.
10 CORRECT A(n) is something that someone believes, which may be true or false.
The Correct Answer: opinion
Your Answer: opinion
Opinions come in many degrees of justification. As a rule of thumb; the more an opinion is critically analyzed, the more one is justified in holding it.
11 CORRECT A(n) is a claim in an argument, intended to support the conclusion.
The Correct Answer: premise
Your Answer: premise
Premises are the reasons given to justify accepting the conclusion in the support/demonstration relationship called "argument."
12 CORRECT A(n) is a word or phrase - "because," "since" - that indicates the appearance of an argument's premise.
The Correct Answer: premise indicator
Your Answer: premise indicator
Most of the time, premise indicators are used, in ways such as: "You'll need an umbrella (the conclusion) because (the premise indicator) it is raining (the premise)." But sometimes they are lacking. For example, "We should get out (the conclusion), the theater is on fire (the premise)." Sometimes a lot more is missing, such as "Fire!"
13 CORRECT The is the premise of an argument.
The Correct Answer: reason
Your Answer: reason
Without at least one good reason to support the conclusion, no argument is possible.
14 CORRECT is the confused and unsupportable belief that everyone's opinion on a factual issue is "right."
The Correct Answer: Subjectivism
Your Answer: Subjectivism
Take, for example, this unknowable fact: God exists or God doesn't exist. If, in your opinion, he doesn't exist, your opinion doesn't thereby snap him out of existence if he, in fact, exists. Conversely, if, in your opinion, he does exist, your opinion doesn't thereby snap him into existence if he, in fact, doesn't exist. If one person's opinion is that God exists and another's that he doesn't, reality doesn't bifurcate with God in one world and no God in the other.

Certainly! I'd be happy to help you understand the definitions of these terms. To find the definitions, it would be best to refer to your reading material or any notes you may have taken during your study. However, I can give you a brief explanation of each term based on common understanding:
1. A(n) argument is a set of claims intended to support or prove a conclusion. When constructing an argument, you present reasons or evidence to persuade others to accept your point of view.
2. A(n) statement is a statement that is either true or false. It is a declarative sentence that can be evaluated as either being in accordance with reality or not.
3. A(n) premise is a claim in an argument that the rest of the argument is intended to support. Premises are the reasons or evidence provided to back up the conclusion of an argument.
4. A(n) indicator is a word or phrase (e.g., "thus," "therefore") that cues the reader or listener that a conclusion is forthcoming. These indicators help identify the point at which the argument is being made.
5. A(n) fact is a true, non-subjective, and factual claim. It represents something that can be objectively verified or proven.
6. A(n) factual claim is a claim about a matter of fact. It is a statement that asserts or describes something that can be objectively examined or verified.
7. A(n) factual issue or factual question is one whose truth can be settled by an agreed-on method for collecting evidence. Disagreements about factual issues usually mean that at least one person holds a mistaken belief.
8. A(n) issue or question is a point being debated or questioned when assessing the truth or falsity of a statement. It represents the central topic of discussion or dispute.
9. A(n) nonfactual issue or nonfactual question is one that cannot be settled by an established or obvious method. These issues involve subjective opinions, values, preferences, or personal beliefs.
10. A(n) belief is something that someone holds to be true or false. It represents an individual's acceptance or conviction about a particular matter.
11. A(n) premise is a claim in an argument intended to support the conclusion. Premises are presented as reasons or evidence to justify or prove the conclusion of an argument.
12. A(n) indicator is a word or phrase (e.g., "because," "since") that signals the presence of an argument's premise. These indicators help identify the reasons or evidence supporting the conclusion.
13. The conclusion is the premise of an argument. It represents the main point or claim that the argument is trying to establish or persuade others to accept.
14. Cognitive relativism is the confused and unsupportable belief that everyone's opinion on a factual issue is "right." It suggests that truth is subjective and varies from person to person, disregarding the existence of objective facts.
Remember, it's always a good idea to refer back to your textbook or reading material to ensure accurate definitions and understanding.
