When his girlfriend keeps bossing him around, aidan says, "would you stop? only my parents get to tell me what to do." according to chapter 14: professional argumentation, aiden uses what argumentation tool?

Enthymeme

Explanation:

Enthymeme is a form of argument that is given based on implied reasoning without stated reasoning.

Let's analyze the argument above.

1. Aidan hates being bossed around. So when his girlfriend constantly does so he wanted her to stop.

2. to make this happen, he said "Would you please stop? Only my parents get to tell me what to do."

3. when he said that, Aidan does not specifically stated that he hates being bossed around by his girlfriend. He created an implication that the girlfriend is not his parents, hence she needs to stop.

Since Enthymeme relies heavily on subtle implication, it create a higher possibility that the argument wouldn't be understood by other people.
