Explanation letter to the bank:
Vincent Cooper,
ABC bank,
Loan number: XXXXXXXXXX
Date: 6/8/13
Subject: [explanation letter for EMI delay]
To,
The bank manager,
ABC bank.
Dear Sir,
I would like to put this letter as explanation to your kind notice that presently I am dealing with huge financial crisis as I have lost my last job due to some specific reason. Right now I am entirely jobless and in this situation I am really helpless and unable to pay back the monthly EMI for the loan I had taken from your bank last year for my car. I am trying hard to get another job and make the situation normal as soon as possible. But you know in this recession it is tough to get another job on short period of time.
It does not need anything to say as you know me very well and I hope you can recognize that I have a very good history for my paying bills. I was never late in my payment. I will pay everything I owe but now all I can ask for is little bit co operation with me so I can overcome the situation real soon.I hope this situation is temporary and will last long in the future and I hope you to cooperate a bit so you can provide me a plan with minimal payment or no payment for next few months. I know you have some plan of repayment in your account and hope if you consider my problem and handle this with iron hand that will be real grateful.
Thanking you.
Your sincerely
____________
Vincent Cooper

Is the following passage an argument or an explanation?

Even the most committed hard determinist cannot avoid assuming something like the conventional sense of free will in his or her daily life. When Dennis the determinist goes to a restaurant and looks at the menu, he may intellectually accept that his selection from the menu can only occur in one way and no other, but he still has to deliberate about the available alternatives and then choose one. The determinist cannot “not choose” and wait for inevitable causation to take its course. Given that, we must proceed by treating something like free will as being practically true, regardless of our appraisal of the truth or falsity of determinism.

There are several hundred different kinds of odorant receptors, each one with a binding site shaped to accommodate a specific common odorant. We can, however, discriminate between a wider range of odours than this, because each odour is typically the result of a complex blend of different odorant molecules.

Is the following passage an argument or an explanation?

Speech matters. It shapes people’s perceptions, knowledge and attitudes. Why else would businesses spend billions of dollars each year on commercial advertising? Corporations and billionaires are not stupid. They would not waste millions of dollars to fund an endless flood of political ads if those ads didn’t pay off. They do. Money may not guarantee victory, but it definitely helps.

Is the following passage an argument or an explanation?

Bucking a national trend, NYC unemployment rose last month to 10%, up from 9.7%. Statewide, the number of jobless New Yorkers rose to 8.9%, up from 8.6% in May. (The national unemployment rate has been roughly 8.2% since March.) However, the numbers are somewhat unusual, which is demonstrated by the fact that the city and state both saw an increase in job growth, even as the unemployment percentage rose. New York State added 137,200 new private sector and government jobs, while NYC added 76,800 private sector and government jobs. Governor Cuomo explained the unemployment spike on jobseekers entering or re-entering the labor market “due to renewed confidence about finding employment.”

Is the following passage an argument or an explanation?

Most people think Apple scanning all your information as you enter it into computers at their stores is acceptable because Apple is simply looking for patterns. That is, it’s okay because we’re only having our information subjected to a statistical analysis, a “looking for patterns”. They’re not interested in “us” as individuals, they’re looking for something recognizably non-typical. But if someone takes our photograph while we’re using Apple’s computers, we feel our privacy has been invaded, since another human being—as opposed to a giant corporation—is looking at us.

For my part, of all the things that are not under my control, what I value most is to enter into a bond of friendship with sincere lovers of truth. For I believe that such a loving relationship affords us a serenity surpassing any other boon in the whole wide world. The love that such men bear to one another, grounded as it is in the love that each has for knowledge of truth, is as unshakable as the acceptance of truth once it has been perceived. It is, moreover, the highest source of happiness to be found in things not under our command, for truth more than anything else has the power to effect a close union between various sentiments and dispositions.

The reason why Battlin’ Jack has won eight fights in a row is not due to superior conditioning—he’s still just as old and over the hill as he was before this streak began.
