Solution

The statement that is NOT true about inductive arguments is:

c. The conclusion is guaranteed

Inductive reasoning involves making broad generalizations from specific observations. Even if all of the premises are true in a statement, inductive reasoning allows for the conclusion to be false. Here's an example: If I leave my house at 8 a.m. and always get to work at 8:30 a.m., I might make the conclusion that I will always get to work at 8:30 a.m. if I leave at 8 a.m. This is an inductive reasoning because it draws a conclusion for a timeframe not yet observed.

So, inductive arguments do not guarantee the conclusion, they only suggest that the conclusion is probable.
