Cоnsider the fоllоwing аrgument: One of the mаin reаsons for studying logic, or "critical thinking" as it's sometimes called nowadays, is to achieve familiarity with some of the more important forms that reasoning takes -- syllogisms, analogies, generalizations, and the like.  However common these forms may be, they aren't widely understood, not with the kind of clarity needed to criticize arguments well.  As a result of this ignorance, people giving reasons in support of their claims tend to be bad, not just at listening to one another, but also at listening to themselves.  This is a serious problem in human life.  One might think that having reasons in support of one’s beliefs and actions is good, but having bad reasons is in some ways more dangerous than having no reasons at all.  Bad reasoning makes people into proud, self-righteous, unwitting fools, threats to themselves and others.  This is a reason why students should be required to study logic -- which is to say to practice it, logic being a set of skills acquired only through doing.  If begun in college, this should begin early, ideally in the student's first year of studies, and it should continue throughout their time at the institution. Now consider this claim: For most people, the basic forms of reasoning are generally not understood well enough for them to be good at criticizing arguments. Indicate two things: Is the claim an unsupported premise, a supported premise, the argument's conclusion, or neither a premise nor a conclusion (NPNC)? And is the claim being made explicitly, implicitly, or is it neither stated nor assumed (NSNA)?
