What is commonly suggested when an argument structure includes a warning for the argument to "Eliminate other possible explanations"?

  1. Alternative explanation

  2. No other possible explanation

  3. No other possible explanation

  4. Suggest an alternative explanation

The correct answer is: Alternative explanation

When an argument structure includes a warning to "Eliminate other possible explanations," it commonly suggests looking for an alternative explanation. This means that the arguer is advising to consider and rule out other possible reasons or justifications for the situation or claim being discussed. By doing so, the arguer aims to strengthen their own explanation or argument by demonstrating that it is the most plausible or likely among the available options. Therefore, the correct answer is A because it accurately reflects the recommended approach in such a scenario. In contrast, the other options do not accurately capture the specific guidance provided in the argument structure involving the warning to "Eliminate other possible explanations."
