Choose the correct framework for the following analogical argument.

Liz is thrilled about the prospect of adopting a dog from her local animal shelter, but she is a bit nervous about the fact that she doesn't know much of anything about the several dogs she likes the most. Her friend, Hector, tells her that only one of the three dogs she likes is the best choice for her. She asks him how he knows, and he tells her that itÂ’s quite simple. Liz wants a dog that's like her beloved pet, Rover, who lived to a ripe old age before succumbing to a heart attack. Rover was a mutt -- some combination of Pit Bull, Boxer, and Lab. He was also large -- at least 60 lbs -- very cuddly, smart, and friendly. Only one of the three dogs at the shelter appears to be a combination of Pit Bull and Lab, is large, and appears friendly. The others are very standoffish, and quite small. After eliminating the two dogs from the list, Liz considers the ways in which the third dog is like Rover. She decides that this dog is probably also cuddly and smart.

Finally, students always ask for extensions after they miss their deadlines, and faculty do, too.

Choose the correct framework for the following analogical argument.

I don't understand why the military can't get along without more money. We're all tightening our belts, and the military is no different from any other organization on a budget. The military has to purchase and maintain equipment, just like my manufacturing plant has to do. The military has to make payroll, just like my manufacturing plant has to do. Since my manufacturing plant just had to reduce its budget by 20%, the military should reduce its budget by 20%, too.
