Consider the following inductive argument. Say whether the new premise produces a stronger or weaker argument--or has neither effect. Indicate which of the six criteria for the appraisal of inductive arguments justifies that judgment. Argument Every time I've visited France, I've had a lousy time. I'm about to visit France once again; I predict that I will have a lousy time. New Premise On past visits, I've always stayed in Paris; this time, I'm going to Brittany. This judgment is justified by the following criterion: Number of Analogues Variety of Analogues Number of Similarities Number of Differences Relevance of Similarities/Differences Relative Modesty/Ambition of Conclusion
