Explain how the author used reasoned judgment in the excerpt above.
Answer:
The author states, “He usually left her a home on the farm, as long as she remained single.” Here she is using reasoned judgment because the fact that the father was not required to leave property to his daughter, it is unlikely he would allow her to go homeless because a male relative inherited the house.
When the author states, “It is hardly necessary to say that, so far as practical results are concerned the strike did no good,” she is going beyond the facts to draw a conclusion about the success or failure of the strike.
When the author states, “The ill success of this early attempt at resistance on the part of the wage element seems to have made a precedent for the issue of many succeeding strikes,” the author is using reasoned judgment. The fact is that this first strike was followed by later strikes. She is concluding that the first strike served as a model or precedent for the later strikes that followed.
