Document Summary
Writers utilize the inductive reasoning skill to make compelling arguments to readers. Instead of proving why their assertion is true, the author emphasizes why it is likely to occur through factual positioning. This is an effective tactic because it allows readers to believe that they are the ones actually making the informed decision. In actuality, the author leaves almost no room for alternatives by presenting only factors that favor their position, rmly guiding a malleable reader. Assertion - trump"s win in florida locks up the gop presidential nomination. Fact 1: trump holds a 600 delegate lead over his nearest competitor. Fact 2: only 800 more delegates are left to be decided. Fact 3: trump is leading in all but 2 of the remaining states. Fact 4: 725 of the 800 remaining delegates left are in states that use a proportional delegate allocation system (making it harder to keep him from winning electoral votes).
