After а quick breаkfаst оf tоast and cоffee, Charles climbed the stairs to the office on the third floor of his house. He shivered as he sat down and looked out a window. Even though it was 8:00 am, it was dark and gloomy outside. Clouds menaced and the branches of the trees in his backyard swayed in the wind. He turned to his desk and looked down at the draft of his new novel. Still, he couldn’t stop thinking about how cold his office was. There was definitely a draft. He looked around. There were two windows in the room, one of which was missing a small pane. There was a small gap beneath the door to the balcony, and on the opposite side of the room there was a fireplace that he had not used for many years. I need to do something about this draft, Charles thought. After a quick trip to the hardware store for materials, he had fixed the window. Better, but still there was a draft. Another trip to the hardware store and he got to work on the door. By late afternoon, the gap beneath the door was gone. Much better, but still a tiny draft persisted. He surveyed the room. The fireplace. He walked over to it and peered in. Ah, he had forgotten to close the damper after he last used it, which was several years ago. He laughed. The conclusion was inevitable. What is the conclusion, and what method is used to draw this conclusion?
