Will a beverage begin to cool more quickly in the freezer or in the regular part of the refrigerator? Well, of course it'll cool faster in the freezer! There are lots of people who don't understand anything at all about physics and who think things may begin to cool faster in the fridge. But they're sadly mistaken.
If by argument you mean a point of view, then definitely this passage contains an argument. Check the dictionary definition of argument.
