The new popular downloadable app, ApptLetters, should be taken off the market immediately. It is a game where players capture spinning letters in order to fill up massive black holes worth gazillions of points. Tragically, it is so compelling, so enticing, that players plaster their faces to the screen for hours. Lack of regulation concerning
ApptLetters's prohibition is akin to allowing embezzlers the opportunity to possess the only keys to our hometown banks.
How does the use of an analogy affect the argument being made?
1 It is not properly used because it is placed at the end of the argument.
2 It fails to add clarity and is not rationally related to the issue.
3 It relies on a logical progression that requires the opposite conclusion.
2 It fails to add clarity and is not rationally related to the issue.
The analogy comparing the lack of regulation of the app to allowing embezzlers access to banks does not effectively argue against the use of the app. It does not provide a clear and logical connection between the two situations, and therefore fails to strengthen the overall argument against the app.
