uished? 3. To what is _actual_ opposed? 4. What shades of difference may be pointed out between the four words _actual_, _real_, _developed_, and _positive_? EXAMPLES. In ---- life we do not die when all that makes life bright dies to us. If there was any trouble, ---- or impending, affecting those she had served, her place was with them. This was regarded as proof ---- of conspiracy. * * * * * REASON, _v._ (page 302). QUESTIONS. 1. What is it to _reason_ about a matter? 2. From what is _argue_ derived, and what does it mean? 3. What is it to _demonstrate_? to _prove_? How do these two words agree and differ? EXAMPLES. There are two ways of reaching truth: by ----ing it out and by feeling it out. In ----ing, too, the person owned his skill, For e'en tho vanquished, he could ---- still. A matter of fact may be ----ed by adequate evidence; only a mathematical proposition can be ----ed. * * * * * REASON, _n._ (page 302). QUESTIONS. 1. How does _cause_ differ from _reason_ in the strict sense of each of the two words? 2. How is _reason_ often used so as to be a partial equivalent of _cause_? EXAMPLES. No one is at liberty to speak ill of another without a justifiable ----, even tho he knows he is speaking truth. I am not only witty myself, but the ---- that wit is in other men. Necessity is the ---- of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. Alas! how light a ---- may move Dissension between hearts that love! * * * * * REASONING (page 303). QUESTIONS. 1. What do _argumentation_ and _debate_ ordinarily imply? 2. How does _reasoning_ differ from both the above words in this respect? 3. To what kind of _reasoning_ were _argument_ and _argumentation_ formerly restricted? How widely are the words now applied? 4. How do _argument_ and _argumentation_ compare with _reasoning_ as regards logical form? EXAMPLES. All ----, Inductive or Deductive, is a reaching of the unknown through the known; and where nothing unknown is reached there is no ----. Early at Bus'ness, and at Hazard late, Mad at a fox-chase, wise at a ----. If thou continuest to take delight in idle ----, thou mayest be qualified to combat with the sophists, but never know how to live with men.
