Can all three rules for evaluating inductive generalizations be applied to all arguments by analogy?
A) No, because some arguments by analogy do not involve a generalization.
B) No, because some arguments by analogy are entirely deductive.
C) Yes, because every argument by analogy involves an inductive generalization.
D) The first rule cannot be applied, since the inductive generalization is always based on a single instance.But the other two rules can always be applied.
E) The first two rules can always be applied, but the third cannot, since analogies always take the plausibility of a generalization for granted.
